What does the SAT benchmark mean?

►The College and Career Readiness Benchmarks for the SAT predict a 75% likelihood of achieving at least a C in a set of first-year, credit-bearing college courses. The PSAT/NMSQT benchmarks are determined by observing how students grow from year to year and by adjusting the SAT benchmark using the average rate of progress.

► Algebra

► Statistics

► Pre-calculus

► Calculus

► History

AP Potential: How does it work?

25

► AP Potential helps schools ensure that no student is overlooked.

► Schools can use it to:

► Identify students likely to succeed on AP Exams

► Determine which AP courses to offer

► Schools can generate a roster of students likely to score a 3 or higher on a given AP Exam by selecting specific criteria, such as grade level and AP subject area.

AP Potential: Appropriate Use

26

► AP Potential data is an important tool, but it should never be used as the sole criterion for placement in AP courses. Though a strong indicator, it accounts for only a fraction of the factors that determine a student's AP Exam score.

► Other important factors include individual student motivation and preparation, parental support, and teacher efficacy.

College Connection
