Advanced Placement courses also provide the opportunity to earn college credit or its equivalent through the Advanced Placement testing program. Although not all colleges and universities grant credit for qualifying grades on Advanced Placement examinations, over 400 institutions do grant credit.
Since there are much greater demands placed on those students who enroll in Advanced Placement courses, it is appropriate to establish a grading system that is commensurate with the nature of effort required. Therefore, Advanced Placement grades will be weighted according to A = 5, B = 4, C = 3, D = 1, and F = 0.
