AP Exams
The Advanced Placement examinations (AP exam) are an annual occurrence at many high schools in the US, including Gunn High School.[1] The AP exams are an important component of Gunn culture [citation needed] to demonstrate one's proficiency to colleges and possibly gain college credit,[2] which can be used to reduce tuition fees.
Structure
The structure of AP exams vary significantly depending on the subject of the exam.[3] Most exams have multiple choice and free response sections, usually taking 2–3 hours.[3]
Registration
At Gunn, registration is only accepted from PAUSD students due to space constraints.[4]
Payment for the exams is done through Total Registration. However, students who are taking the corresponding AP course must also enroll on AP Classroom.<ref name="gunn"> Teachers may use AP Classroom to provide resources to students as practice in-class or out of class.
