2 HHS AP PROGRAM GUIDE Page 2 What is the Advanced Placement (AP) Program? HHS AP Program Guide Advanced Placement (AP) is a program of college-level courses and exams that gives high school students the opportunity to receive advanced placement and/or credit in college. Nationally, about 1.2 million students participate in the AP Program each year. Hillcrest High School is committed giving all students an opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging curriculum that will prepare them for college and beyond. Students are highly encouraged to take AP courses. As students plan their schedules, they should consider the time commitments required in extracurricular and outside activities by carefully reviewing the course descriptions before making decisions. These courses are designed to prepare students for AP courses, but they also offer an excellent opportunity for students to enjoy a challenging, interesting course in areas where students exhibit strengths and curiosity. What are AP courses? AP courses will be more demanding than regular high school courses. They often require more time and work, but the AP courses give you greater depth. A student should realize that taking an AP class is a serious commitment. Students should give careful thought to which and how many AP courses to take in one year. Why take an AP Exam? Satisfactory grades on AP examinations offer many benefits which may enhance your applications for college admissions, placement, and scholarships. You may also receive college credit based on your AP scores. AP exams are administered each year in May. An exam contains both multiple choice and free response questions that require essay writing, problem solving, and other skills. Every examination receives an overall grade on a five-point scale. Scale: 5 Extremely well qualified 4 Well qualified 3 Qualified 2 Possibly qualified 1 No Recommendation AP Grade Reports are sent in July to each student s home address, high school, and, if the student has requested, to designated colleges. Each college decides how much credit to award for AP scores. You can find this information for the colleges you are interested in by using the AP Credit Policy search at: *Some information was taken from the AP College Board Website.*

Why Participate? AP offers something for everyone. The only requirements are a strong curiosity about the subject you plan to study and the willingness to work hard. Here are a few reasons to sign up: Broaden Your Intellectual Horizon: Gain the Edge in College Preparation: -level work. techniques. -solving course work. Stand Out in the College Admissions Process: what college admissions officers look for on a high school transcript. *Some information was taken from the AP College Board Website.*

4 HHS AP PROGRAM GUIDE Page 4 Frequently Asked Questions HHS AP Program Guide 1. Can my student enroll in Pre-AP and AP courses? Yes, DISD allows students, parents, teachers and counselors to nominate for Pre-AP and AP courses. Please note that these courses are more rigorous and move at a faster pace that the regular courses. 2. Is there a limit to the number of Pre-AP and AP courses that a student can take? There is no limit; however, students should consider their overall course load and other activities or commitments they have to make sure they have adequate time in their daily schedule to study and to complete homework. 3. Who can I contact for more information about the AP Program? Ann McNutt, AP Coordinator 4. Can I change my schedule once school starts? Schedules will be mailed during the summer.

5 HHS AP PROGRAM GUIDE Page 5 Rank in Class and GPA Rank In Class Rank in class is based on a weighted grading system. Eligible courses for the computation of rank include all courses taken for state credit in grades Courses taken for state credit in summer or evening school, as well as approved correspondence and college courses taken for high school credit will count toward rank in class. Credit earned through credit-by-exam, with or without prior instruction, does not count toward rank in class. Rank points are awarded based on semester grades. For each student, rank points for each semester course are sorted in descending order. Rank in class is computed by totaling the weighted rank points of eligible courses representing the highest twenty-four credits taken and earned in grades Course weights are assigned to Texas Education Agency approved courses as follows: Advanced Placement 9 Remedial Education/Special Education 6 Pre-AP / Dual Credit 8 Regular Education/ESOL 7 Local credit courses 0 Below 70 in any course 0 To obtain rank points, the semester grade in each course is multiplied by the course weight. English I Grade 100 X 7 = 700 POINTS English II PAP Grade 100 X 8 = 800 POINTS AP English III Grade 100 X 9 = 900 POINTS Rank in class is calculated at the end of each semester beginning with the first semester of the junior year. The first calculation is based on the highest 15 credits. At the end of the junior year, rank is calculated based on the highest 18 credits. First semester senior rank is calculated on the highest 21 credits and the final rank is calculated on the highest 24 credits. GPA Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA) Students earn a grade point average (GPA) based on a 100 point system. Eligible courses for the computation of GPA include all courses taken for state and local high school credit in grades Courses taken in summer or evening school, as well as approved correspondence courses, and courses taken for concurrent college credit, shall count toward the grade point average (GPA). Grade point average is computed by totaling the numerical grades earned and dividing by the number of numerical grade earning courses attempted. GPA can range from 50 to 100. Credit earned through credit-by examination or examination for acceleration will not count toward GPA. The academic achievement record (transcript) shall carry the final GPA.
