Advanced Placement (AP)

Students do not need to be enrolled in an AP class to take the AP exam; however, Great Hearts courses do not precisely align with AP curriculum. It is recommended students invest time to prepare for the exam. To receive credit for an AP test, students typically need to score at least a 3, 4, or 5.

Not all colleges will accept AP exams. Before taking AP exams, research each college’s AP policy and course equivalency guide. For example, ASU’s course equivalency guide explains how AP exams translate to credit: https://catalog.asu.edu/credit_exam. Free College Board test prep tool available through KHAN Academy.

After registration is complete and paid on Configio, NO REFUNDS will be issued. If you have questions about which option is best for you, please consult with your Great Hearts college counselor before purchasing.
