The Advanced Placement Program is a program that offers college level courses at high schools across the United States and Canada. Many high schools in the United States offer AP courses, though the College Board allows any student to take the examination without participating in the course. Therefore, home-schooled students and students from schools that do not offer AP courses have an equal opportunity to take the examination. The AP exams are scored on a numeric scale, 1 to 5, with a score of 3 considered passing and the following general meanings:

5: Extremely well-qualified
4: Well-qualified
3: Qualified
2: Possibly qualified
1: No recommendation

These scorings are used by some colleges to exempt students from introductory coursework if they demonstrate mastery through an AP test. Each college's policy is different, but most accept scores of 4 or 5, and some accept scores of 3. On the student's college transcript, the course is given a simple CR or other generic grade to indicate that the student has received credit for the course, although some colleges and universities will award an A grade for a 5 score.
