AP Exams

(High School Courses/Exams)

As a high school student, AP coursework and exams can change your life. Through AP Exams, you have the opportunity to earn college credit for coursework taken in high school. You can obtain credit for exams with scores of three (3) or higher. You will receive exemption credit which indicates course completion.

If you graduated from high school without having taken AP courses and exams, you may want to consider CLEP as an option to earn Advanced Placement.

College Board AP Bulletin

CLEP

Do you want to receive college credit for the knowledge you already have? If you already have proficient knowledge of a subject, you can prove competency through the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) sponsored by the College Board. Whether you have mastered this material through prior course work, independent study, or cultural pursuits, you may want to consider CLEP examinations. More information is available on the College Board website.

CLEP examinations are available in the CLEP CBT Test Center at the Airport Campus Student Assessment Center and at the National On-Base Test Center at Fort Jackson Center of Midlands Technical College. These sites are computerized CLEP Test Centers. Scores are available to test candidates upon completion of most tests and to institutions within 3 – 4 weeks. An example of an exception to this is with the College Composition test. Scores will be available to the students in 2-3 weeks after testing.

Students with Disabilities: If you wish to take a CLEP examination using an approved accommodation, please contact the Disabilities Resource Center. You may be approved to test under special conditions, e.g., extended testing time (up to three hours per test), use of a reader or transcriber, or use of large-print testing materials. Only students with documentation of a learning or physical disability are eligible for special CLEP arrangements.

MTC CLEP Policy

DSST

Through the DSSTs testing program, students have the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and receive college credits for learning received outside of the traditional classroom. For the most recent information concerning each of the 37 examinations available visit the DSST website at www.getcollegecredit.com. DSST exams are now administered by computer at the Airport Campus and Fort Jackson Campus. Public Speaking, however, remains the only test not computerized. Scores are available to candidates within minutes of completion. Reports to designated institutions take less than 4 weeks. Students with disabilities: If you have a disability, please contact the Disability Resource Center before you register regarding testing under special conditions, e. g., extended testing time (up to three hours per test), use of a reader or transcriber, or use of large-print testing materials. Only students with documentation of a learning or physical disability are eligible for special DSST arrangements.

MTC DSST Policy

TAP

Technical Advanced Placement (TAP) exams enable qualified high school and Midlands Technical College students to earn free course credit by demonstrating specific competencies on departmental exams. Students who do well can earn exemption credit toward their programs at Midlands Technical College. This will save them time and money!

TAP exams were initially designed as a special part of the Central Midlands Career Partnership articulation agreement with local area high schools. They have now been expanded to include opportunities for MTC students as well. They are not transferable to other colleges and universities. Only current and future MTC students should select this method of receiving exemption credit.
In order to make the exams more accessible, Midlands Technical College has significantly revised how we offer TAP exams. They are now offered in the MTC Student Assessment Centers on Beltline and Airport campuses during their regular working hours. Be sure to check out the new TAP procedures!

Any questions or comments about TAP, please send an email to tapexam@midlandstech.edu.

Procedures

  • Exams offered year-round
  • Exams offered days and evenings
  • Exams offered on both Airport and Beltline campuses

TAP exams are administered in the Student Assessment Centers on Beltline and Airport campuses. They can be taken during the daytime and evening by appointment only. Interested in taking an exam? Pre-register online then contact the Assessment Center at 803-738-7845 to schedule an appointment to take a TAP exam. Your TAP exam results will be e-mailed to you.
