2011 Information for 

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams 

(This document available online at www.fvhs.org/guidance links/AP exam information.)

FVL offers Advanced Placement tests each spring.  Juniors and seniors need to watch the daily announcements to make that they meet all registration deadlines.  AP tests are offered at the expense of $87 per exam and may provide college credit for students who receive passing grades. It is important that students know how the school(s) they plan to attend handle AP scores.  Each college and university seems to have a different policy, so don't assume that passing the test will earn credit.
