Students not enrolled in an AP course during the academic year are not able to register for an exam unless the AP course is not offered at St. Andrew’s College.
Exam charges are *US $127 per exam. If a student qualifies to write the exam but elects not to write, there is an automatic US $40 charge to return the exam.
AP scores are available in July.
Because AP work is considered post-secondary, students in these courses who receive a grade of 3 or higher may receive a tax credit for the year the exam is written. The average tax credit is in excess of C$2,000 per exam.
Students may release AP scores to universities to receive a transfer credit once they enrol. This is optional for all colleges/universities, except McGill.
Advanced Placement may be used either for transfer credit or to ease the transition during first year by essentially repeating the coursework.
