• The AP World Incentive Policy:

    One of the cumulative objectives for this class should be to take the AP exam.  A grade of 4 or 5 on the exam (out of 5) might, and probably will, insure World History credit at the school of your choice; it is up to you to research those requirements (check outwww.collegeboard.com/ap/creditpolicy).   

    Taking the AP exam may raise your class semester grades, according to the following *policy, which will be followed for this class. Based on the score you receive on the AP exam for this course taken this school year, there is a possibility of having both the spring and fall semester grades changed (improved) by a designated increment.  Since this is a two-semester class, both grades would change, depending on the percentage grade for each respective semester. If you score a 4 your final grade for semester can be increased by  about 1/3 of a letter grade (3%).  If you score a 5 your grade(s) will be increased by about 2/3 (6%) of a letter grade.  A score of 3, 2 or 1 on the AP exam will neither raise nor lower your course grade(s).  These scores will be changed on your transcripts after the test results have arrived in July or August.  Please check with me (in person or email) to confirm  you earned the grade change and that it was submitted.
