Remote Learning Offered For AP Students In California
AP students in California and across the country can now take remote classes after in-person AP Exams were canceled due to the coronavirus.
CALIFORNIA — The College Board is offering free remote learning programs for the 3.4 million students enrolled in its Advanced Placement (AP) programs before this spring's at-home AP Exams.
Starting Wednesday, students can access live AP review lessons given by teachers across the United States. A survey of 18,000 AP students showed that 91% wanted to finish their courses, take the exams and earn college credit, the College Board said in a statement.
AP Exams were canceled earlier this month, along with the SAT and ACT tests, due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak across the U.S.
