  • AP Potential Expectancy Tables Based on PSAT/NMSQT And
    AP Potential Expectancy Tables based on PSAT/NMSQT and SAT Scores on the 2015-16 Redesigned Scales Using Final Concordance Tables Maureen Ewing and Jeff Wyatt January 2017 COLLEGE BOARD RESEARCH RESEARCH Introduction Historically, AP Potential™ has used PSAT/NMSQT® scores to identify students who are likely to earn a 3 or higher on a specific AP Exam based on research showing moderate to strong relationships between PSAT/NMSQT scores and AP Exam scores (Camara & Millsap, 1998; Ewing, Camara, & Millsap, 2006; Zhang, Patel, & Ewing, 2014a). For most subjects, AP Potential expectancy tables have been derived by combining tenth and eleventh grade PSAT/NMSQT data with scores from AP Exams taken as either eleventh or twelfth graders during the following academic year. For AP European History and AP World History, ninth grade PSAT/NMSQT scores and tenth grade AP Exam scores were also recently included in the expectancy table calculations (Zhang, Patel, & Ewing, 2014b). Starting with the launch of the redesigned SAT® Suite of Assessments (i.e., PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, and SAT) in the 2015-16 academic year, AP Potential will also be reported based on scores from additional PSAT tests (depending on the student’s grade level) as well as be extended to reporting based on SAT scores. The purpose of this report is (1) to describe how we created blended AP Potential tables that include PSAT/NMSQT and SAT data and (2) to present these new tables on the 2015-16 redesigned scale for the SAT Suite of Assessments. Methodology and Results To create blended AP Potential tables that include PSAT/NMSQT and SAT scores, analyses were conducted using data from the following students/years1: • Students who took the PSAT/NMSQT in fall of October 2007 and/or October 2008 as sophomores or juniors and then completed one or more AP Exams during the following academic year in May 2009 or May 2010, respectively2.

The solutions contain the most common method of solving the free-response questions and the allocation of points for this solution. Some also contain a common alternate solution. Other methods of solution also receive appropriate credit for correct work. 2. The requirements that have been established for the paragraph length response in Physics 1 and Physics 2 can be found on AP Central at https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/ap/paragraph-length-response.pdf. 3. Generally, double penalty for errors is avoided. For example, if an incorrect answer to part (a) is correctly substituted into an otherwise correct solution to part (b), full credit will usually be awarded. One exception to this may be cases when the numerical answer to a later part should be easily recognized as wrong, e.g., a speed faster than the speed of light in vacuum. 4. Implicit statements of concepts normally receive credit. For example, if use of the equation expressing a particular concept is worth one point, and a student’s solution embeds the application of that equation to the problem in other work, the point is still awarded.

    SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CHATHAMS CURRICULUM ______________________________________________________________________________ CONTENT AREA(S): Social Studies COURSE/GRADE LEVEL(S): AP Economics/ 10th - 12th Grade ______________________________________________________________________________ I. Course Overview Advanced Placement Economics provides students with a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of microeconomics and macroeconomics. This rigorous, college-level course, prepares students for both the AP Microeconomics exam and AP Macroeconomics exam. The purpose of microeconomics is to give students a thorough understanding of the principles of economics that apply to the functions of individual decision makers, both consumers and producers, within the economic system. It places primary emphasis on the nature and functions of product markets and includes the study of factor markets and the role of government in promoting greater efficiency and equity in the economy. The purpose of macroeconomics is to give students a greater understanding of the principles of economics that apply to an economic system as a whole. The course places particular emphasis on the study of national income and price-level determination, and also develops students’ familiarity with economic performance measures, the financial sector, stabilization policies, economic growth, and international economics. Advanced Placement Economics students will be challenged to master economic theory in order to analyze and evaluate current economic issues using supply and demand analysis. II. Units of Study Microeconomics Unit 1: Basic Economic Concepts (1.5 weeks) [SC1, SC8, SC9] a. Scarcity b. Three Fundamental Economic Questions c. Factors of Production d.
