No, they do not give credit toward your degree.
However, your AP scores can be used for placement so that you can take more advanced classes as a freshman, which can be helpful.
The AP exams are usually offered over two weeks in the first half of May. You can find the schedules and dates for specific exams at the College Board's website at http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/ap/about/dates .
AP stands for Advanced Placement, and is a branch of the College Board franchise (same corporation that does SAT, etc.). AP Classes are college level classes that high school students may take, pass an exam for, and receive college credit for. AP exams are scored on a scale of 1-5 (1=Fail, 5=Highly qualified). Most universities accept a 3 or above for credit.
Boarding Schools, like most regular training institutions, offer a variety of study fields, ranging from mathematics, to the sciences and art. The academics lead to anything from a Diploma to a Doctor's degree. AP exams are held half-yearly.
If you pass an AP class but fail the AP exam you will NOT get a college credit but you will receive credit for the class. Colleges will still recognize that you took an AP class, and you will still receive credit for the class, just not college credit.
Yes, mechanical pencils are allowed on AP exams as long as they meet the College Board's guidelines for acceptable writing instruments.
This depends very much on the department. As a general rule, AP scores of 4 or 5 can be used to skip introductory-level courses. EDIT-------------------- I believe what is said above is true, but it should be noted that Princeton does not award "credit" for AP exams, ie credit towards distributional requirements or your major, unless you qualify for advanced standing and wish to graduate early.
Rigorous courses typically include Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), honors classes, and dual-enrollment courses. AP courses can award college credit if students achieve a passing score on the corresponding exams, while IB programs offer both high school diplomas and potential college credit for higher-level exams. Honors classes generally provide advanced content but may not directly award college credit. Dual-enrollment courses allow high school students to earn college credits by taking courses at a local college or university.
