Trevor Packer, CollegeBoard AP Executive Director, states, "AP is not a magic bullet. But it can anchor very effectively a cross-grades effort to help students achieve a much higher level of learning than they otherwise would. . . . If we move from percentages to looking at actual lives achieving at this level, here is a more important snapshot: back in 1998, when 63 percent of exams scored 3 or above, 985,533 exams attained that standard. Now that 'just' 59 percent are scoring 3 or above, a total of 1,345,521 exams have attained that standard."

AP NewsDid You Know? For 23 years Jay Mathews (Developer of Newsweek's America's Best High Schools list) has been interviewing low-income high school students trying to master AP or IB course material. He states, they tell me they know it is going to be a struggle to score high enough to earn college creditThe students look at taking AP or IB in the same way a young and inexperienced athlete looks at making the varsity football team. They may not win many games, but they are going to be much better players in the future having been allowed to practice and play at that level.

AP NewsDid You Know? Access, Equity, High Expectations With Support, Leads To Success! Consider the 1992 US mens basketball Dream Team, officially known as Team USA. The US team was so much better that the rest of the world they cruised to an Olympic gold medal. In 1994, Dream Team 2 also easily won a medal at the World Championship held in  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto,_Ontario" \o "Toronto, Ontario" Toronto,  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ontario" \o "Ontario" Ontario. But, other countrys who played against the dream teams also were winners, because they had an opportunity to experience a much higher level of play. In the 2006 World Championship games, Team USA was defeated in the semi-final match against  HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_basketball_team" \o "Argentina national basketball team" Argentina, 8981, ending the United States' hold on the gold medal. Team USA did rebound in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China capturing the gold metal by defeating Spain 118-107. Consider the opportunity for under represented students to take AP/IB classes and exams, with staff providing rigorous instruction and support, will give our students the skills to take and pass AP/IB exams. By providing equal access to classes, high expectations and academic support, just like our international basketball teams, will raise the level of play for all students.

AP NewsDid You Know? Providing Access and Equity For All Students American educators are achieving much success in their efforts to enable a wider and more diverse group of U.S. students than ever before to succeed in college-level studies in high school. Yet we must also gaze clear-eyed at the inequities that remain and the challenges that accompany success in expanding access to the Advanced Placement Program (AP) For more information about our Advanced Placement Incentive Program please contact Don Mitchell at  HYPERLINK "mailto:dmitchell2@sandi.net" dmitchell2@sandi.net or Barbara Pflaum at  HYPERLINK "mailto:bpflaum1@sandi.net" bpflaum1@sandi.net. AP NewsDid You Know? What is the Advanced Placement Program? The College Board partners with colleges and universities to create college-level learning assessments the AP Examsin 37 subject areas. As a result, most colleges and universities in the United States, and institutions in more than 30 other countries, use AP exam results in admissions to designate a students ability to succeed in rigorous curricula, and also award college credit or placement into higher-level college courses so that students can move directly into the courses that match their level of preparation.

AP NewsDid You Know? How are the AP Exams scored? AP Exams, with the exception of AP Studio Art, which is a portfolio assessment, each consist of dozens of multiple choice questions, which are scored by machine, and free response questions (essays, translations, problems), which are scored at the annual AP Reading by more than 8,000 college faculty and expert AP teachers, using scoring standards developed by college and university faculty who teach the corresponding college course.

AP NewsDid You Know? What is the Scale for the AP Exam grades? The composite score for each AP Exam is converted to an AP Exam grade of 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1. AP Exam grades of 5 are equivalent to the top A-level work in the corresponding college course. AP Exam grades of 4 are equivalent to a range of work representing mid-level A to mid-level B performance in college. Similarly, AP Exam grades of 3 are equivalent to a range of work representing mid-level B to mid-level C performance in college. Thus, a 2 is equivalent to a mid-level C to mid-level D performance for an end of course college class, knowing this can encourage the high school student to keep striving to score higher. (Donald R.

AP NewsDid You Know? Democratizing Entrance to College With 75 percent of U.S. high school graduates entering college, the nation is steadily democratizing entrance to college Recent research from the University of California at Berkeley and the National Center for Educational Accountability finds that an AP Exam grade, and a grade of 3 or higher in particular, is a strong predictor of a students ability to persist in college and earn a bachelors degree.

AP NewsDid You Know? Arkansass landmark legislation, which is being hailed as exemplary by other states, requires all public schools in the state to make AP courses available for their students, and to support this requirement, the state has allocated funding that enables Arkansas teachers to spend part of the summer at intensive AP teacher professional development Summer Institutes provided by colleges and universities in Arkansas and neighboring states. Arkansas is currently tied with New Hampshire for achieving the greatest one-year expansion of AP grades of 3, 4, and 5 across its student population. West Virginia has just passed similar legislation.

CollegeBoard, Report to The Nation, 2007 AP NewsDid You Know?
