2 About the AP Exam Results Report The scores reported on the following pages are from students who completed a course with Patrick Henry College Preparatory Academy during the academic year and took the corresponding College Board Advanced Placement (AP) exam in May The great majority of these scores are taken from the College Board s AP Subject Roster for Online Providers (2013). The Subject Roster displays scores for each exam taken by PHC Prep Academy students who identified PHC Prep Academy as their online provider when they took the exam. A handful of the scores were reported to us by individual students. On an as-needed basis, PHC Prep Academy may revise this report to reflect new scores we receive from students or new College Board data. (Please see the first page for the date this report was last modified.) If you have any questions about the information in this report, you may contact the Academy office via phone at or via at info@phcprep.org.

Typically, a score of 3 or higher is considered a passing score. For more information on how the scoring process works, visit the College Board s website: 2
