AP
What is it?
The AP program, known as Advanced Placement, is an educational program that started in the United States and has spread around the world. Thanks to this program, high school students improve themselves by taking university-level courses and gain an advantage in applying to universities they want to study abroad.
In the AP program, there are 38 different course options in 6 majors and an exam is given at the end of each course. Students who are successful in these exams can receive either AP International or AP Capstone diplomas or both. The AP program is a great opportunity for hardworking and visionary students who aim for excellence in education.
How are AP Exams Scored?
AP exams evaluate students’ performances according to predetermined criteria instead of comparing them with each other. Every student who meets the criteria to get a score of 2, 3, 4 or 5 on AP exams receives this score regardless of how many students there are.
Multiple-choice questions are scored by computer, while open-ended questions and performance assessments are scored by thousands of university faculty and experienced AP teachers.
Scoring is done each year at an event called AP Readers or online. Scorers are well trained and their work is constantly monitored to ensure fairness and consistency.
The scores for open-ended questions and performance assessments are weighted and combined with the results of computer-scored multiple-choice questions. This raw score is converted into an AP score from 1-5.

Our experienced instructors thoroughly review the curricula, resources and past exams published by the College Board and create a group lesson plan that parallels the AP program.
Practice Exams
Essay exams are very important in AP programs. In group lessons, we apply our AP essays based on past exams and College Board resources and carefully evaluate your answers.
Group Assignments
Group assignments in AP courses allow students to work together to learn from each other, increase their responsibility and gain important skills. These projects develop competencies such as collaboration, communication, leadership and utilizing different perspectives. They also strengthen critical thinking, problem solving and analytical skills, while reinforcing organizational skills such as time management and division of labor.
Homework Coaching
Our homework coaches take one-on-one care of our students taking group lessons and keep their interest in the lesson alive.
Lesson Registrations
Our students can watch the lecture recordings again at any time to catch the points they missed or did not understand and thus reinforce their learning.
