Maine

AP Credit and Placement Policy

Nearly three-quarters of all states have implemented statewide or systemwide AP credit policies, which typically require all public higher education institutions to award credit for AP Exam scores of 3 or higher. Maine does not have a statewide credit policy for AP; it currently has institution-based credit policies.

AP Funding

Maine currently does not provide funding for AP Exams. For information for schools and districts on federal funding options available to provide funding for AP Exams, visit Funding for Low-Income AP Students.

SAT Policies and Use by Colleges

Nearly all colleges in this state consider SAT or ACT scores in admission for students who choose to submit them, and many also use them to award scholarships and place students in appropriate first-year courses.
