Advanced Placement. It's like taking a college class in high school, and the AP test is scored with a 1 being the lowest score and 5 being the highest. Most colleges will let you skip taking the class in college if you generally score 3 or higher.

Okay, as I said a 1 is the lowest score and a 5 is the highest. That breaks down to if the total number of points you get is between A and B, you get a 1, between C and D, a 2, so on and so forth. The tests are a mixture of multiple choice and free response questions, with two people grading the free response and giving a score on each question.

I wish that you didn't have to take the AP class to be able to take the Test.

A five on calculus, that is great. Good job dude. Let me guess you are going to do something with math in college.
