The ACT Corporation has published some very interesting research connecting student's PLAN test scores and their success on Advanced Placement exams later in their high school career.
The PLAN test is taken by all sophomore students and is essentially a shorter version, based on fewer standards, than the ACT test. The ACT test will be taken by all junior students at Ryle on March 9th.
The ACT's research lists PLAN test scores that yield a probability of success on certain AP exams. This information could certainly be used to confirm thinking that a student should take an AP course and exam and could also be used to spur a student to work harder and smarter if their PLAN scores indicate they may not score as high as they wish on the AP exams. This is especially important to consider when completing schedule requests for 2010-11.
