Tests that are taken at a local Career Tech can be combined with tests taken at the student's home school to qualify for this discount. The cost of each exam would be $64.

Placing Students in AP Classes
Schools can generate rosters of students who have the potential of being successful on an AP Exam based on their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT. AP Potential is free and web-based.
Schools can use the results from 10th graders' PLAN tests to predict students' performance on AP exams. Use the chart to correlate PLAN Composite scores to AP scores.
