Parents and students may wish to visit the AP Credit and Placement College and University Search to review the AP policies at individual institutions. Each college and university determines their own policy; however, Texas public colleges and universities must provide credit for a score of 3 or higher on any exam. AP Exam Fees As a commitment to advanced academics, the South Carolina Department of Education reimburses our school district for all exams taken.
