Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in both Advanced Placement Seminar and Advanced Placement Research, and on four additional Advanced Placement Exams of their choosing will receive the Advanced Placement Capstone Diploma, signifying outstanding academic achievement and attainment of college-level academic and research skills. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in both Advanced Placement Seminar and Advanced Placement Research, but not on four additional Advanced Placement Exams, will receive the Advanced Placement Seminar and Research Certificate signifying attainment of college-level academic and research skills.
