Five Glenbard students among select few worldwide to ace AP Research exam

Congratulations to the following Glenbard students on being among only 176 students worldwide to have earned every point possible on the 2017 Advanced Placement Research exam: Glenbard East student Dominic Covelli, Glenbard North 2017 graduate Michael Kim and Glenbard West 2017 graduates Emma Erickson, Lizette Gonzalez-Flores and Madison Ratkowski.

Students who take AP Research work with an expert advisor, examine an academic topic or issue and design, plan, and conduct a year-long research-based investigation to address it.

The class culminates in an academic paper of 4,000-5,000 words and a presentation, with an oral defense, in front of a panel of evaluators.

AP Research is the second class in the AP Capstone Program. Students must take AP Seminar before taking AP Research.
