The College Board's Advanced Placement Program (AP) offers college level course materials and exams to high school students. Students take the Advanced Placement ((AP) exams in May. Although most Advanced Placement courses are taught in conventional high schools, some Advanced Placement courses are now being taught using distance learning technologies. However, students do not have to be formally enrolled in an Advanced Placement course in order to take the Advanced Placement exams; it is possible to study the material on your own or with a tutor, and then take the Advanced Placement exams which are offered in May of each year. Qualifying scores on the AP exams may allow high school students to receive college credit or advanced standing when they enter college. (Each college or university sets its own policy: contact the colleges to which you are interested in applying to find out whether or not they will accept AP exams for college credit).
