AP Classes

The College Board’s AP courses are college-level classes in a wide variety of subjects that students can take while still in high school. They offer challenging coursework, and a taste of what college classes are like. 

Hackett is proud to offer a number of advanced placement courses for students to prepare themselves for future educational opportunities.

• AP courses offer the opportunity to study a subject in-depth at the college level. This better prepares you for college work.
• If you receive a high enough score on an AP Exam, you may be eligible for credit, advanced placement or both at most colleges in the United States.
• The AP Program offers a number of AP Scholar Awards to students for outstanding performance on AP Exams. If you qualify, colleges will recognize this achievement.

When a student takes an AP course, they have the opportunity to take the AP Exam in that subject. AP exams are given in May. The exams are two- to three-hour tests made up of multiple-choice and free-response questions. The exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5. Everyone completing an AP course at Hackett must take the AP test associated with it.
