Advanced Placement (AP) classes are one type of college-level courses taught at Kentwood that prepare students to take the Advanced Placement Exam to earn college credit.

Students will earn college credit for AP classes based on the scale score earned on the AP exam. AP exams are graded on a five-point scale with five being the highest score and one being the lowest.

Colleges will review scores and determine credit, but most will accept a score of three or higher on each exam.

To take an AP test with Kentwood, actively enrolled KW students must have a personal College Board account and will need to pay for each AP test they wish to take.

Qualifying families who complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefits (CNEEB) Application may have a reduced fee or will not have to pay the exam fee.

Students must submit an official AP Score Report to the college to be audited for credits. Students can order these reports through their College Board account.

AP exam dates and times are determined the College Board. At Kentwood, exams will be administered during the school day between May 4-8 and May 11-15. A late testing window is available from May 18-22.

AP Exams will be given in one of two formats: a combination of digital and paper/pencil (hybrid), or fully digital, depending on the subject.
