AP Exams
Each spring, students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses have the opportunity to take an AP examination. A passing score on this exam (a 3, 4 or 5) earns college credit at most colleges and universities. (For detailed credit acceptance use AP Credit Policy Search) GBHS strongly encourages students enrolled in AP courses to plan to take at least one of their AP exams each spring. WHS and RJUHSD only offer AP Exams to students who attend school in the RJUHSD district.
