2006 results of the advanced placement examinations and the international baccalaureate examinations

Abstract

Since 1984, each school district in South Carolina has been required to provide Advanced Placement (AP) courses in all secondary schools that include grades 11 or 12. These classes prepare students for the national AP examinations. Students who score 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam are generally considered qualified to receive credit for the equivalent course(s) at colleges and universities that give credit for AP exams. The data are presented for high school students who participated in AP courses in public schools and took at least one AP exam during the 2005-06 school year.
