E-mail us at [email protected] 8 Why Educators Love Us We asked teachers how their students did after using Albert. Here is what they had to say: My students had an 81.2% passing rate - the previous year was 76% (the highest rate in our county)! I am thrilled. I had 64 students total, with 6 receiving 5s, 19 scoring 4s, 27 receiving 3s, 10 scored 2s and 2 received 1s. Susan M., JP Taravella High 70% of my students scored 3 or higher. This is up from last year, and is also well above the national average. Needless to say, I am very happy with my students' success. I used Albert more intentionally this year. In the beginning of the year, I wanted students simply to answer questions and practice. Once they had 150-200 questions answered, we looked for trends, strengths, and weaknesses and worked on addressing them. Students were tasked with increasing their answer accuracy no matter how many questions it took, then they set their own goals (some wanted to focus around tone; others needed practice with meaning as a whole). Bill S., Lapeer High School Last year 40% passed with 3s and 4s. This year 87% passed, most had 4s and 5s. We used the stimulus-based multiple choice questions throughout the year and as review for the exam. I think it helped tremendously. Alice P., First Baptist Christian Academy Interested in an Albert license? E-mail us at [email protected] 9 Why Students Love Us We asked students how they did after using Albert. Here is what they had to say: I scored very well this year – four 5s and one 4. Albert helped me get used to the types of questions asked on the exam and overall my scores were better this year. Robyn G., Chambersburg Area Senior High School Last year was my first year taking an AP test, and unfortunately I did not do as well as I had hoped. The subject had not been my best, and that was definitely displayed on my performance. However this year, I made a much higher score on my AP test. The previous year had been AP World History and I had made a 2. For this year it was AP English Language, and I scored a 4. There was a definite jump in my score, because Albert pushed me to focus on my weaknesses and form them into strengths. Charlotte R., Rome High I scored a 4 on AP Biology, much higher than expected. Albert was an effective resource to guide me through AP Biology. Keeping up with it consistently all year as I learned the lesson in class was crucial to reinforcing my understanding and long-term memorization of Biology. After class each day, Albert helped to sink in the ideas that I was taught in the morning. Lily O., Wake Forest High School Interested in an Albert license?

Most students are a little overwhelmed to say the least, when faced with 50 physics multiple-choice questions. However, if you take our advice, study carefully and work consistently, you’ll dramatically increase your chances of scoring a 5! We’ll give you some tips for studying for the AP Physics 1 and 2 multiple-choice as well as some killer advice which will make you a winner on the exam! And now for the good stuff read the following sections. Interested in an Albert license? E-mail us at [email protected] 11 How to Approach AP Physics 1 & 2 Multiple Choice Cont. Understanding the Format of the Exams You can read the official description here. The main thing I want to point out is that there are two kinds of multiple-choice questions: 1. 45 “single-select” questions with only one correct answer 2. New for AP Physics 1 and 2! Five “multi-correct” questions with two correct answers. You have to select both correct answers to get credit for the question. How to Prepare for the Multiple-Choice Section 1. Review the material. This is important, but make sure that you don’t spend too long on it, because you might not leave enough time for the next step! 2. Practice, Practice, Practice! This is the most important You can find practice questions in a few places: • Official sample questions from the College Board here and here • The Albert.io website also has hundreds of practice questions • Review books like Barron’s also have many practice questions and practice exams We recommend that for each topic you review, you should do a few practice multiple-choice (and free-response) questions. In the final stage of your exam prep, take a few timed full-length practice exams. Interested in an Albert license? E-mail us at [email protected] 12 How to Approach AP Physics 1 & 2 Multiple Choice Cont. How to Answer AP Physics 1 and 2 Multiple-Choice Questions 1. Read, and reread the question. Make sure you understand what you’re being asked. The exams ask questions in many different ways. Students have lost many points by rushing to answer a question without reading it carefully. 2. Pace yourself. If a question takes too long, move on! It’s not worth it to spend too much time on hard questions if it means you run out of time for the easy ones! 3. If you don’t know the answer, make a guess and mark the question. You can come back to it if you have time. 4. Set a target of 10 questions every 15 minutes. Then you’ll be left with 15 minutes spare, if you need more time or if you want to review questions. 5. Answer every question. There’s no negative grading, so there’s no reason for leaving an answer out. If you just can’t figure it out, guess! At least you’ll have a chance of getting it right! 6. Use the formula sheet. These will be provided at the exam, but you can download one for AP Physics 1 and AP Physics 2. 7. Use a calculator. Most scientific and graphing calculators (except those with a qwerty keyboard) are allowed for the entire exam. Interested in an Albert license?

  • 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.

    AP® STEM Participation and Postsecondary STEM Outcomes: Focus on Underrepresented Minority, First-Generation, and Female Students Kara Smith, senior director at Macmillan Learning Sanja Jagesic, assistant research scientist at the College Board Jeff Wyatt, research scientist at the College Board Maureen Ewing, senior director at the College Board Visit © 2018 The College Board collegeboard.org Executive Summary Projections by the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (2012) point to a need for approximately one million more STEM professionals than the U.S. will be able to produce considering the current rate of STEM postsecondary degree completions (Executive Office of the President of the United States, 2012). Do Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses in STEM complement the desire for more students completing STEM majors? In this study we ask if participation and performance in Advanced Placement STEM Exams in high school is predictive of a student’s performance in STEM courses in the first year of college and the likelihood that a student will graduate with a STEM major, particularly for traditionally underrepresented populations in STEM fields—first­ generation, underrepresented minority, and female students. We find that AP STEM examinees had 7% higher first-year STEM grades and a 13% higher probability of STEM major completion than matched non-AP STEM peers. Nearly all of these positive results held for first-generation, underrepresented minority, and female students. 2 Contents Introduction ...............................................................................................................6

  • Advanced Placement Courses
    West High School Advanced Placement Courses Advanced Placement American Government AP American Government is an intensive study of the American national government. The goals of this course are to increase understanding of the American political system, including its framework, traditions and values. The course is concerned with the nature of the American political system, its development over the past 200 plus years, and how it continues to function into its third century. The principal processes and institutions through which the political system functions, as well as some of the public policies which these institutions implement, are studied in detail. Advanced Placement Art History AP Art History is designed to provide the same benefits to secondary school students as those provided by an introductory college course in art history, namely an understanding and enjoyment of architecture, sculpture, painting, and other art forms within historical and cultural contexts. In the course, students examine major forms of artistic expression from the past and present and from a variety of cultures. They learn to look at works of art critically, with intelligence and sensitivity, and to articulate what they see or experience. Advanced Placement Art Studio AP Art Studio is a rigorous college-level program intended for highly motivated students who are seriously interested in the study of art. Study areas and directions are mutually agreed upon. Students keep sketchbooks, write essays, and develop their ability to talk about their art. Students submit a digital portfolio to the College Board of Examination Committee. Advanced Placement Biology AP Biology is a challenging and stimulating course equivalent to a two semester college introductory biology course.
