AP Advanced Placement

   The Advanced Placement Program is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools, colleges and universities administered by the College Board. For students willing and able to apply themselves to college-level studies, the AP Program is designed to enrich their secondary experience in a variety of subject areas. It provides the means for colleges to grant credit, advanced placement, or both, to students who have applied themselves successfully in AP subject areas. Information on credit and/or placement of students at the college and university level after successful completion of AP examinations is   available through City Vancouver Academy Coordinator, the information offices of individual universities, or   through the College Board.

Reasons To Take

  • Converting an AP Score into college credits helps speeding up university/ college graduation: Currently, AP exam scores are accepted by the majority of Canadian and American universities/ colleges. They can be used to shorten college courses and reduce college credits in order to graduate early after receiving the relevant AP scores.

  • Save on college tuition: AP credits can minimize the number of universities/ college courses you need to take, which helps lower the cost of your tuition. Since AP courses are subsidized to 3-6 credits per course and the cost of one UBC course (3 credits) is now at $3700, it means students who successfully complete an AP course might save on tuition cost between $3700 and $7400.

  • Increase the acceptance rate from Top universities/colleges: Generally speaking, getting 5 or 4 points will greatly help boosting the acceptant rate on the elite school application. On average, students applying to U.S colleges will submit three AP scores. Some applicants aiming for Top ranking college will also considering of submitting 5 AP scores.
