Do you …
- Want to gain the edge in university preparation?
- Want to stand out in the university selection process?
- Want to broaden your intellectual horizons?
…then you want to consider AP exams at Preston!
The Advanced Placement program is an internationally recognized standard of academics. AP credits are often considered equal to first-year university courses in rigor. They are a good way to find out what level of performance will be required at university. Some Canadian Universities recognize AP examination results and will consider awarding transfer credits (minimum exam scores required).
Our flexible model at PHS for Advanced Placement allows you to prepare for and write the AP exam of your choice from a list of a variety of subject areas. Your topic may be in one of your credits, where the curriculum is similar to the exam preparation material, or you can explore a completely different area. You review the online course material and study at your own pace, consulting with your teacher-mentor as you require. A teacher-mentor is often selected from someone on staff here at PHS.
How do you know that AP is right for you?
You should be the kind of student who:
- Enjoys being challenged
- Is curious about many things
- Consistently demonstrates academic excellence (over 85%)
- Has superior academic potential
- Has an excellent command of spoken and written language
- Has a well-established work ethic and is willing to work hard
Is enthusiastic, self-directed and capable of handling the accelerated pace of learning
Is there a cost?
Yes. Each exam being written costs $150.00 (Cdn). This fee goes directly to the College Board, the developers and administrators of Advanced Placement, and is subject to change.
