If you go to an international school, the British system is called A-level, and the American system becomes the AP system. What is AP?

AP course is the abbreviation of Advanced Placement in English, and Chinese is generally an American Advanced Placement course or an American Advanced Placement course. Refers to college courses and exams taught in high schools offered by the College Board. The content of AP courses is the same as the content of introductory courses of corresponding subjects in the university.

AP is a college preparatory course provided by the College Board to high school students.

Here we sort out all the AP courses offered by the College Board:

In fact, it is unlikely that any international school will provide 38 AP courses, so let’s research, what are the AP courses offered by NIS that my child is studying. Made a mark, corresponding to the number above.

NIS offers 14 AP courses. AP courses are based on a five-point system. Generally speaking, when applying to American schools, it is recommended to provide five AP courses with a score of 5. This is the most ideal. You can choose to take 3 AP courses per year starting in grade 9, so you’re probably taking 10 AP courses. The exam fee is about $100 per AP course.

If an international school wants to offer AP courses, it needs to go to the College Board to apply for a number, so that students in your school can take the AP course exam. The exam fee is paid to the school, and the school submits it to the College Board.

  1. AP Capstone: Seminar (30)
  2. AP Capstone: Research (29)
  3. AP English: English Language & Composition (9)
  4. AP Social Sciences: Microeconomics (22)
  5. AP Social Sciences: Psychology (28)
  6. AP Social Sciences: World History (38)
  7. AP Government and Politics: Comparative (15)
  8. AP Mathematics: Calculus AB, (3)
  9. AP Mathematics: Statistics (31)
  10. AP Sciences: Biology (2)
  11. AP Sciences: Chemistry (5)
