4. Additional Weighted grade points for qualifying Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate examination scores:

1. Students receiving a score of 3, 4, or 5 on an advanced placement exam will receive 1.5 weighted points added to the student’s course grade upon completion of the course.

2. Students receiving a score of 4, 5, or 6 on an International Baccalaureate exam will receive 1.5 weighted points added to the student’s course grade upon completion of the course.
