Answer: It depends upon the number of credits you need and how fast you can do it. It is self-paced. You pay by a block of instruction of eight weeks, which is for as many courses as you can finish within that time frame. If you don’t finish the requirements within eight weeks, then you pay for another eight weeks.

Answer: API High School is a private institution and does not require TAKS tests for graduation. We administer the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) for Reading, Language, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Passing the TABE tests is a requirement for graduation. If you passed the TAKS tests (Grade 11 level) or any other state exit tests, then you don’t have to take the TABE tests. However, if you fail a portion of the TAKS or other state exit tests, you will only have to take an equivalent TABE test. If you don’t pass the entry TABE tests, then you will be required to take preparatory non-credit courses before taking the regular credit courses and then you take the exit TABE tests.
