[quote=Anonymous]I think there is some confusion between the Advanced Academic Program (AAP) and Advanced Placement (AP). AAP is a level of services available for elementary and middle school students and is the new name for what used to be called the Gifted and Talented Program. AP refers to the Advanced Placement exams and courses. These are available in individual college level subjects and present in high schools nationwide. In Fairfax County, any student can choose to take one or more of these courses and yes, the county does pay the $85 exam fee to the College Board. A student earning a particular score in the exam can earn college credit for that course. AAP ends at the end of eighth grade. High schools in FCPS offer both honors and AP classes which are open to any student who wishes to choose them.[/quote]
