AP Exams

Advanced Placement examinations are taken each May by students at participating Canadian, American, and international educational institutions. The tests are the culmination of year-long AP courses during high school. All but one of the AP exams combine multiple-choice questions with a free-response section in either essay or problem-solving format. AP Studio Art, the sole exception, requires students to submit a portfolio for review.

Each June, the free-response sections and Studio Art portfolios are scored by thousands of university faculty and Advanced Placement instructors.

The AP Grades that are reported to students, high schools, colleges, and universities in July are on AP’s five-point scale:

• 5: Extremely well-qualified
• 4: Well-qualified
• 3: Qualified
• 2: Possibly qualified
• 1: No recommendation

College Credit: 

Many colleges and universities in the U.S. grant credits or advanced placement based on AP grades; those in over twenty other countries do likewise. Policies vary by institution, but most schools require a score of 3 or higher on any given exam for credit to be granted or course prerequisites to be waived. Colleges may also take AP grades into account when deciding which students to accept, though this is not part of the official AP program.

ASVAB

The Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is a multiple choice test administered by the US Military Entrance Processing Command, and this exam is used to determine qualification for enlistment in the US armed forces. It is often offered to high school students when they are in the 11th grade, though anyone eligible to and interested in enlisting can take it. 

The ASVAB is primarily designed to measure one’s aptitude to be trained in specific jobs.

AFQT scores are computed using the Standard Scores from four ASVAB subtests: Arithmetic Reasoning (AR), Mathematics Knowledge (MK), Paragraph Comprehension (PC), and Word Knowledge (WK

The full-length ASVAB is made up of nine sections, depending on which version of the test you take. The paper version of the ASVAB does not currently include an “Assembling Objects” subtest, but that may soon change. The CAT-ASVAB does.

The order in which the subtests are administered never varies, and is as listed below. Click on the subtest name for more information on what’s tested.
