Students taking AP exams are typically enrolled in an AP course in high school, preparing them for the tests. The tests consist of multiple choice and free response components and are scored from 1 to 5. Typically, colleges give credit for a score of 3 or higher. There are 37 AP tests, and they cost 96 dollars to take. Low-income students can apply for a fee reduction and should talk to their counselors about this process. It&#8217;s important to keep in mind that students can take any AP test they want and do not need to be enrolled in an AP class to take the test. This means that homeschooled students or students who feel proficient in some subject (such as a foreign language) can choose to take the test.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c43cfc elementor-widget elementor-widget-vc_custom_heading\" data-id=\"4c43cfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"vc_custom_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\" vc_custom_heading  masterstudy_heading_font  text_align_left\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;font-weight:700\" class=\"masterstudy-custom-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/clep.collegeboard.org\/?ef_id=Cj0KCQjw6J-SBhCrARIsAH0yMZjyzkbtLDCFW51cDhaNxvd0Wh2gAj9Z--vOv_hzi9zA2ePinRbYpfEaArayEALw_wcB:G:s&amp;s_kwcid=AL!4330!3!520944214296!e!!g!!clep%20test!1493550655!57249022043&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw6J-SBhCrARIsAH0yMZjyzkbtLDCFW51cDhaNxvd0Wh2gAj9Z--vOv_hzi9zA2ePinRbYpfEaArayEALw_wcB\"> CLEP Tests \n<\/a><\/h3><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-756d54b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"756d54b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>CLEP (College Level Examination Program) tests are 90-minutes, multiple-choice tests covering 34 subjects.

Most of the tests award up to three college credits, and the Spanish, French, and German tests can award up to 12. Unlike AP tests, CLEP tests don&#8217;t have a corresponding high school class, and students should seek out CLEP study guides to be best prepared. Not every school grants credit for CLEP tests. Students can check on the College Board website to see if the schools they are interested in accept CLEP tests.

Unlike AP tests, students must be enrolled in the course to take the exam. Students taking IB exams will also submit an internal assessment from the course in a portfolio of papers or a recorded oral component.

Sometimes a college professor comes to the high school, and sometimes students go to an actual college campus. The school or district typically governs these arrangements, and policies regarding eligibility and cost vary between schools. Like Minnesota and Ohio, some states offer PSEO (Post-Secondary Enrollment Options). PSEO lets high school juniors and seniors take college classes without paying for tuition or books. Some students attend college full-time during their junior and senior years and graduate with a high school diploma and an associate&#8217;s degree. Interested students should contact their counselors and ask them about dual-enrollment or dual-credit opportunities.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Associate degrees usually take approximately two years when studying full time and are available at community colleges and technical schools around the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-610230d elementor-widget elementor-widget-vc_custom_heading\" data-id=\"610230d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"vc_custom_heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\" vc_custom_heading  masterstudy_heading_font  text_align_left\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: left;font-weight:700\" class=\"masterstudy-custom-title\">Summer Programs\n<\/h3><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f28be66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f28be66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Some colleges offer summer programming aimed at high school students.

One way to start searching for a program is to list colleges you&#8217;re interested in and see if they offer anything. Another way is to consider an interest you&#8217;d love to devote your summer to studying, such as writing, healthcare, math, or a sport, and start your search there. Every year there are online databases compiled of summer opportunities for teens.
