The Advanced Placement Program (AP®)
College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® is recognized by universities around the world as a standard of academic excellence. Since 1955, the AP® Program has enabled millions of students to take U.S. university undergraduate-level courses and earn undergraduate degree credit, advanced placement, or both while still in high school/secondary school.
Nearly all colleges and universities in the United States—as well as more than 500 universities in 75 countries such as the U.K., Canada, and Australia— consider AP participation favorably for admission and have policies around AP credit and placement.

SAT Program
The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT®)
The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions across the world. The SAT is wholly owned, developed, and published by the College Board, a private, not-for-profit organization in the United States. The test is intended to assess students’ readiness for college.
Global Passport
The SAT is globally recognized and widely accepted by universities in the United States and almost 70 countries worldwide, including India.
Put Achievements in Context
Wide variations in curricular standards, grading systems, and course offerings make the SAT critical in contextualizing the achievement of international students.
Strengthen University Applications
Universities review academic accomplishments to ensure that a student is academically ready for study and graduation from their university. The SAT can help students stand out in the application process, including to universities that are test optional.
If a student is studying at a school/country where English is not the primary language of instruction, university admission officers may use the SAT to confirm that a student can complete their degree in English.
