What is Advanced Placement? Advanced Placement or ‘AP’ is a nationallyrecognized program developed by the Collegeboard. AP courses offer college-level curricula and exams to high school students. American colleges and universities often grant placement and/or credit to students who obtain passing scores on the exams.
How are AP tests scored? What is a passing score? 5 = extremely well qualified A+ or A 4 = well qualified A-, B+, B 3 = qualified B-, C+, C 2 = possibly qualified 1 = no recommendation A score of 3, 4, or 5 will usually get college credit

Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Dual Enrollment is a program where high school students have the opportunity to earn "dual credit" (high school and college credit for the same course) for their advanced level courses. These are high school classes taught by high school teachers (adjunct professors). The college credit earned may or may not transfer to other colleges.

Differences AP often more difficult than a Dual Enrollment class AP students do not get the college credit automatically AP students must pass the AP exam in May with a minimum score (3, 4, or 5) Dual enrollment credit by scale of partner college Both AP & Dual Enrollment carry a workload Dual Enrollment credit MAY NOT transfer
Differences Simply put, a dual enrollment (dual credit) course is a class taken at Mc. Cort taught by a Mc. Cort teacher where a student earns Mc. Cort credit and college credit from one college at the same time. An AP course has a set syllabus, approved by College. Board, where upon passing the AP test, a student may earn credit with the college of their choice.
FAQ 1: Should I purchase credit? MAYBE! Do you know where you will be attending college? Check out the Transfer Credit tab on the college/university webpage. Transfer Student vs. Freshmen Student Helpful Site: www. pacollegetransfer. com
FAQ 2: If I’m going to be a Biology major, I don’t want credit for History, right? WRONG! Keep in mind: if your going to be a Biology major at “College X” then they are not going to want to transfer in credit from “College YZ” in your major. More likely to accept credit OUTSIDE of your major.
