2007-08 Information for 

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams 

 

 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 the students 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.  

Important resources to find out more about this:
