34 Where Do We Go From Here After students receive and interpret their scores, they should bring their score report and have a meeting with their school counselor. During this meeting the school counselor can review the information with them and view College Board s AP Potential program to determine what AP course best suites the student. The PSAT provides enormous benefits.
35 What is AP Potential? Is an innovative, web based tool that uses correlations between PSAT/NMSQT scores and AP Exam results to identify students who may be successful in AP courses. Gives suggestions as to which AP courses a student will be successful in. With AP Potential school personnel can analyze current PSAT/NMSQT student score data from the October test date and examine which students are likely to score a 3 or better on a given AP Exam. AP Potential helps open access and opportunity for all students and ensures no student, who has a chance of succeeding in an AP course is overlooked. Students and parents are encouraged to speak to their school counselor or current teacher to find out if AP Potential will help them determine the correct course placement for their student.
36 Using AP Potential Appropriately AP Potential should never be used as the sole determining factor for student enrollment in AP courses. College Board s AP Policy states: All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission to AP Courses. The College Board encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to AP courses for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the AP Program. Schools should make every effort to ensure that their AP classes reflect the diversity of their student population.
