AP and College Completion
• Research shows the biggest boost in college grades
and on-time degree completion comes from moving
a student from 0 to 1 AP and from 1 to 2 APs.
Introducing students to the rigors of AP courses is
strongly associated with future college success and
is associated with the largest return on college
outcomes.
• Taking and performing well on more than 4 to 6 AP
Exams does not markedly alter first-year college
grades and four-year degree completion.

Number of APs, AP Performance, and College Outcomes. (Beard, Hsu, Ewing,
and Godfrey, 2018)
Notes: Solid lines denote that the estimate for a given number of AP exams is
statistically significant from the estimate for one fewer AP exam. Dotted lines denote
that these estimates are not statistically different from each other.
