Advanced Placement From 2002 to 2006, the National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA) conducted research on the relationship between students’ participation in AP courses in high school and their later success in college—relationships that are often misunderstood or misinterpreted. The research is summarized in a report (Dougherty, Mellor, & Jian, 2006) and a book chapter (Dougherty & Mellor, 2010). This brief highlights the four major findings of this research. Results: Students who demonstrate that they are ready for college and that they can successfully complete an AP course and pass an AP exam in high school are also those who are most likely to graduate from college.
