American citizen - How to get into KEMC

Salam all,

Sarah_1018, to extent that I am aware, the only way for a U.S. high school graduate to attain marks greater than or equal to 900 is to take Advanced Placement (AP) tests and attain a score of a 5 on one or several of these tests. The only subjects the IBCC considers for AP tests, however, are Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and English. They will take one additional score from another subject, but they won't use all your AP scores (unless they're from the the four required ones listed above), just one of the other subjects in which you scored highest.

Based on my calculations, to score above a 900 you need to get a 5 on 3-4 of these AP tests. I scored a 5 on four AP tests and a 4 on one of them, and my IBCC score came out to 912, which is just above 900.

I don't mean for this information to be discouraging. Just because you don't score over a 900 doesn't mean you won't make it in. If you look at the admissions list this year (2007-2008), a majority of those who made it in to government colleges had scores in the 800 range (800 to just below 900). You should definitely apply if you're confident in your grades because every year people don't take their seats and the EAD or the HEC publish new lists redistributing seats and giving those who didn't make it in the first time a new chance to possibly get in.
