The College Board offers two types of standardized tests that many students elect to take during their junior and/or senior years. College admissions officers often look to the scores students earn on these exams as a useful predictor of future performance beyond the secondary level. High scores on an Advanced Placement examination can earn students college credits and advanced standing upon enrollment at many universities. Below are links to the College Board site where information about each of these tests can be located.
