THE ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM® (AP®)
College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® is recognized by universities around the world as a standard of academic excellence. Since 1955, the AP® Program has enabled millions of students to take U.S. university undergraduate-level courses and earn undergraduate degree credit, advanced placement, or both while still in high school/secondary school.
Nearly all colleges and universities in the United States—as well as more than 500 universities in 75 countries such as the U.K., Canada, and Australia— consider AP participation favorably for admission and have policies around AP credit and placement.
Starting in May 2025, standard paper testing will be discontinued for 28 AP Exams—these exams will move to the Bluebook digital testing application. Of the 28 digital exams in 2025, 16 will be fully digital and 12 will be hybrid digital.

Trivandrum International School, Trivandrum (Kerala, India) is authorized by the AP Program to administer 2025 AP Exams. However, test centers and schools set their own exam pricing, registration timeline and payment policies.
