Research studies about the academic performance of students in college classes who took AP classes in high school show convincingly that AP classes prepare students for college-level work. Information about AP Scholar programs and sources of more information about the AP Program are also given. AP classes are a viable academic option for academically talented students because they offer them opportunities to excel and earn college credits early.
