The portfolios consist of the following components, detailed in the chart below:
- Digital images and commentary for the Range of Approaches and Sustained Investigation sections, uploaded by students and submitted to AP by the AP coordinator.
- View Technical Specifications and Software Requirements for Students’ Digital Images.
- A portfolio of five actual works for the Selected Works section
