进阶先修课程
Explanation:
This is the term the College Board uses, and that is the organization that offers the exams that validate college credits for these courses. In the US, even in Chinese, the courses are often referred to just using the initials "AP". These are special courses offered to high school students which bear college credit if the student gets a certain mark on an exam at the end of the course.
