Recommended AP Resources for New Mexico Teachers, Students, and Parents.
In 2017, New Mexico students passed 6,028 AP exams. At an average of more than $200 per credit hour, New Mexico students and families could save as much as $4.26 million on college tuition costs.
Additionally, New Mexico now offers more training for AP teachers and is expanding access to online AP courses so more rural and underserved students can access the program.
New Mexico also provides waivers for students from low-income families that lower the cost for Advanced Placement exams to $3. Last year, nearly half of AP exam takers (4,707 students) benefited from this waiver.
