How to Save Thousands of Dollars in College Costs
Austin, TX (USA), July 2011 - For the first time, with MyEdu's new credit-by-examination tool, high school students can predetermine the number of college credits and savings gained from taking Advanced Placement (AP) tests in high school. All students have free access to MyEdu's official online academic data and applications.
High school juniors and seniors take standardized AP tests to obtain college credit, and last year over 3.2 million AP tests were taken nationwide. MyEdu has collected AP credit equivalencies for campuses across the U.S. to allow students to determine which AP tests will earn them college credit. Students are able to cross-compare and find the most affordable college options.
The AP Credit Finder, in combination with MyEdu's suite of free academic applications, will help students save time and money by moving them one step closer to earning their college degree.
"The credit-by-examination tool makes financial planning available right at a student's fingertips. Students and their parents will quickly see that AP tests can impact college savings even more than some scholarships", says Karen Holst, VP of Corporate Marketing for MyEdu.
MyEdu, founded in 2008, is a provider of academic information and applications for students, parents, and advisors. It collects official academic data from universities nationwide and houses the largest warehouse of course, professor, degree, and college information in the United States. The use of MyEdu's applications has proven to cut college costs by up to twenty percent by reducing the amount of time it takes to earn a degree. To date, MyEdu has helped more than two million students graduate from college.
