AP draws together the most recent and rigorous research on the strengths and weaknesses of the Advanced Placement program.With an annual yearly growth rate of 9.3 percent over the last two decades, Advanced Placement courses have become a juggernaut in American high school education. AP courses are routinely perceived as an indicator of educational rigor, and many schools push to enroll lowincome or minority students in these courses in the hope of preparing them for success in collegelevel courses.This rapid expansion of AP courses raises important questions. What are the advantages and disadvantages of courses geared toward the AP exams? How well do AP courses prepare students for collegelevel work or predict students success in college? Should colleges award credit for AP courses? Is the AP program a costeffective tool for closing the gap between students in privileged and struggling communities?This book examines closely the differences between AP and other high school courses, as well as variations among AP courses. Indepth studies gauge the impact of AP coursework on student performance in college. Finally, researchers examine the use of AP information in college admissions.Taken together, these studies present a comprehensive picture of the history, impact, and future of the Advanced Placement program.
