The College Board announced a new AP Precalculus course beginning during the 2023–2024 school year. Previously, the lowest level of math for AP credit was Calculus.
This addition is part of the College Board’s strategy to boost the prestige of Advanced Placement classes and scores in the evolving test-optional world. It would also allow students to take AP math courses earlier in high school.
