AP students are expected to spend a minimum of 90 minutes per school day (or weekly equivalent) per AP course. Students who can’t meet this expectation are encouraged not to enroll into an AP course due to increased risk of poor performance.

Students enrolled in AP classes are expected to complete the corresponding College Board external exams in May. These exams are scored on a 1-5 scale. Depending on the institution, scores of 4 or 5 can result in a college or university awarding credit, exemption from courses, or advanced standing. Many European and UK universities also use AP exam scores to meet entrance requirements. Students should research individual universities to understand their policies regarding admissions criteria and potential awarding of credit for AP courses. Students considering AP courses should seek advice from parents, the course teacher, current students enrolled in the AP course(s) of interest, and their school counselor or academic advisor prior to enrollment.  Please note that there is a fee for each AP exam that is paid for by the student.

To graduate with the QSI Academic Diploma with Honors, students are required to successfully complete two AP courses, along with all the academic diploma requirements.
