Which program developed by the College Board offers college-level courses in high schools with the potential for college credit through exams?

• A. Acceleration
• B. Affective Curriculum
• C. Advanced Placement (AP)
• D. Authentic Assessment

Answer: (C)

This question is about a College Board program that brings college-level work into high school and can lead to college credit based on exam results. Advanced Placement is the program that fits this description: high schools offer AP courses taught at a college level, and students take AP exams in May. Colleges and universities decide whether to grant credit or advanced placement based on the exam scores, so students can earn college credit for certain AP courses if their scores meet the institution’s requirements. Other options don’t match this setup: Acceleration isn’t a specific College Board program; affective curriculum focuses on social-emotional aspects rather than credit through exams; authentic assessment is a general assessment approach, not a credit-granting program.
