Score 3 on an Advanced Placement (AP) exam or 4 on an International Baccalaureate (IB) exam |
AP courses are offered in all MCPS high schools and IB courses are available in several MCPS high schools. Both are college level classes. It is important for students to take the AP and IB exams that are offered at the end of these courses. Students who take the exams perform better in college than those who don’t. Students who score a 3 or higher (on a scale of 1-5) on the AP or 4 or higher (on a scale of 1-7) on the IB exam may earn advanced standing in college or college credit. Each college sets its own criteria.
