Advanced Placement Exams
Advanced Placement (AP) tests are standardized exams designed to measure how well you’ve mastered the content and skills of a specific AP course. Most AP courses have an end-of-the year paper and pencil exam, that is scored on a 0-5 scale. Be sure to check the college you plan to attend to know what score you need on the test in order to receive credit (most it is a 3-5, but it does vary). Each tests costs about $95.

PSAT Exam
The PSAT is a practice test for the SAT. It tests your skills in reading, math, and science and is about a three hour test. Students who score high enough on the PSAT could qualify to receive the National Merit Scholarship. The PSAT is only offered once a year at American Fork high school in October.
