As SATs come to a close AP exams lurk around the corner only two or so weeks away. AP exams are some of the most beneficial and important tests towards your college career, other than that SAT college entry test. The AP exams can help fast track your college career in a major way. Getting good scores on these exams makes you eligible for placement into courses that are more advanced.

Colleges only see your AP scores if you choose to send them. You can choose the option to send your exams to select schools you are applying to right away or you can choose to wait and send the scores when you are ready to apply.

Due to increased competition for college admission, admission officials are now increasingly looking at AP exam scores to make final decisions between two equal candidates. Most of the time, a strong AP score of four or five will boost a students application. Two students with equal SAT and GPA scores will be chosen between using their AP exam performance as a tie-breaker.

So, if you come from a region with considerable competition and are applying to the most selective schools, your chances of admission could be greatly affected by your AP exam scores.

Once accepted most colleges will grant college credit for AP credit giving you a jumpstart over most students. Receiving college credits from AP exams can expand the variety of classes in college or lighten your workload for a semester. Overall, the AP exams make the admissions counselors believe that you are ready for the college experience and are able to handle the course load.
