Advanced Placement (AP) Exam
General Information
Administered by the College Board, the Advanced Placement (AP) program offers an opportunity for students to complete college level course work in high school. NOVA students who achieved an appropriate score on certain AP exams are eligible to earn college credit based on policies in this manual. Please see the tables that designate the name of the AP Exam, the required score(s) needed to earn college credit, and the corresponding course code and credit hours awarded. Please note, the accepted equivalency for credit and the needed passing score(s) may be different depending on the year a student completed AP testing and the year a student requests CPL credit for AP scores. Test equivalencies are reviewed on a regular basis by faculty and updated accordingly.
