The purpose of the course, however, extends beyond the possibility of earning college credit by providing students with the opportunity to develop skills and knowledge that will form a useful foundation for college studies. A recent study of this “AP Effect” reported the following results:
| Better prepared academically for college. |
| More likely to specialize in majors with tougher grading standards. |
| More likely to complete more college course work. |
| More likely to take subjects in their AP subject area. |
| Likely to perform significantly better over four years of college course work. |
| More likely to be superior in terms of leadership. |
| More likely to make significant accomplishments in college |
| Twice as likely to do graduate level studies. |
