Advanced Placement Curriculum

Based on College Board’s recent decision to cancel SAT II tests (SAT Subject Tests), Middle East International School has decided to start teaching AP (Advanced Placement) curriculum for the American program in the school starting from the upcoming academic year 2021/2022.
AP is offered by College Board, and it is a school curriculum followed by AP exams. AP exams are internationally recognized high school exams for American programs; moreover, for many colleges and universities a high score will earn the student college credit.
AP offers exams in 38 different subjects that qualify students to join universities in various fields of study: medical, engineering, technology, science, and humanities. Such as:
Calculus, Computer Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition.

Scoring

AP tests are scored on a 1 to 5 scale as follows:

  • 5 – Extremely well qualified
  • 4 – Well qualified
  • 3 – Qualified
  • 2 – Possibly qualified
  • 1 – No recommendation

The multiple-choice component of the exam is scored by computer, while the free-response and essay portions are scored by trained Readers at the AP Reading each June. The scores on various components are weighted and combined into a raw Composite Score. The Chief Reader for each exam then decides on the grade cutoffs for that year’s exam, which determine how the Composite Scores are converted into the final grades. During the process, a number of reviews and statistical analyses are performed to ensure that the grading is reliable. The overall goal is for the grades to reflect an absolute scale of performance which can be compared from year to year.
