Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most often about AP exams, our courses and the university application process.
When are AP exams held?
AP exams take place every year in the first two weeks of May. The College Board announces the exact dates each year.
How are AP exams scored?
AP exams are scored from 1 to 5. A 3 or higher is generally considered a pass; universities often ask for a 4 or 5 for credit, exemptions or as an entry requirement.
Can I take an AP exam if my school does not offer AP?
Yes. You can register at an authorised AP test centre that accepts students from other schools. Test centres have different capacities and registration deadlines, so contact them early.
Are the lessons online?
Yes. All lessons are online, so you can join from anywhere. We are based in Turkey and schedule lessons across time zones.
Do you offer SAT preparation?
No. Our focus is AP courses, AP planning for European universities and study abroad application consulting.
Can I apply to a European bachelor's programme with a non-EU national diploma or a US-style diploma?
It depends on the country, the university and the programme. Some universities accept these diplomas on their own; others ask for an additional qualification, such as specific AP exams, a foundation year or some completed university study. For example, some Dutch research universities list a national diploma plus at least four College Board AP exams scored 3 or higher as an entry route for applicants of some nationalities. Requirements change, so we always check the university's current requirements before we plan.
How many AP exams do I need?
There is no single answer: the number of APs, the subjects and the minimum scores depend on the target country, university and programme. We pin this down for your goals in the AP for Europe Plan.
Is the pre-assessment free?
Yes. The pre-assessment is free and does not commit you to any package.
Do you guarantee admission?
No. No consultant can guarantee admission. What we make sure of is that your application is strong, complete and on time.
Which countries do you support?
We mainly offer end-to-end support for the Netherlands, Germany, the UK and the US. We can look at other countries together in the pre-assessment.
How are services for schools priced?
We prepare a quote for your institution based on the number of participants, the scope and the duration.
