General Recommendations

Research suggests the following:

  • Vertical alignment of pre-AP and AP curricula1
  • Identification of students who are likely to

succeed in AP courses1

  • AP Support Programs2, 3

(i.e. study groups, summer preparation camps, information sessions, or test prep sessions)
