AP: A Collaborative Community
At its core, AP is a collaboration.
In schools and districts, it’s not only about the teachers who inspire and the students who rise to the challenge; it’s also about the AP Coordinators and counselors who perform all of the tasks of an exam administration, from ordering the tests to setting up the exam rooms, to coordinating the proctors and keeping all of the materials secure, to doing the crucial work of organizing their schools’ AP programs.

At colleges and universities, it’s not just about the admission officials who recognize AP students’ commitment
to rigorous course work, and the administrators who reward successful
AP Exam scores through credit and advanced placement; it’s about the faculty who develop AP courses and exams, review AP syllabi, and score
the exams.
