ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) POTENTIAL
PSAT scores help identify your potential success in Advanced Placement classes offered at Cranford High School. The AP program gives students the opportunity to take college level courses while still in high school. After taking an AP course, students can take the corresponding AP exam which could earn them valuable college credit and placement. You may have received an email already from College Board identifying courses in which your teen could demonstrate success. Please go to: www.Collegeboard.org -> Sign in -> Student Score Reports -> AP Potential. The number of green dots shows your student's potential and then choose from a drop down menu to see how each AP course matches up with different majors. Please explore course options and contact your school counselor if you have any questions!
