Dumb Ox Learning offers Advanced Placement exams. (APs)
What are AP exams?
They are American exams offered by the College Board. Students in America and many other countries in the world sit these exams.
Why do AP exams?
United Kingdom
You've probably heard of A-levels.. they are similar to APs, in terms of university entrance, but their advantage is that APs are only one year course as opposed to two. For good UK universities you need 3 A Levels or 3 APs. As APs are only a one year course they are much more straightforward to do.
USA
In the US you need APs to gain entry to highly selective colleges. Many US universities don't require APs, but if you have them your application will certainly look more impressive and you get college credit for them. So the standard is an AP gives you 3 college credits.
Other countries
Many other countries accept these exams for university entrance. The list on the College Board site of those that do is very long!
You may be enrolled in an on-line school, following a homeschool program or designing your own High School Diploma, and need other exam qualifications. Dumb Ox Learning offers full school year AP preparation classes to homeschool students.
APs are a great way to achieve qualifications for University entrance requirements, and also earn high school credits as honors courses.
