ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) STATISTICS
http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/article/0,3045,151-165-0-2151,00.html
The Advanced Placement (AP) Statistics program is a system by which secondary school students take a university level course in introductory statistics and their own schools.  Near the end of the academic year they then take a test.  Depending on the score they receive on the test, universities may then grant the students credit for university level introductory statistics.  The main website for teachers for the Advanced Program in general is called AP Central and is located at http://apcentral.collegeboard.com.  It requires visitors to register, but there is no charge for registration. The AP Statistics Home Page, http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/article/0,3045,151-165-0-2151,00.html, contains course information, exam information, teaching resource materials, teachers' resource reviews, feature articles, registration information for an electronic discussion group, and other valuable links. For a complete course description, go to http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/repository/statistics_cd_0506_4328.pdf.. All of the exam questions from 1998 through 2004, as well as scoring guidelines, commentary on student performance, scoring statistics, sample responses, and grade distributions can be found at http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/members/article/1,3046,152-171-0-8357,00.html. It requires visitors to register, but there is no charge for registration.  The AP Listserver is also an excellent resource for all teachers of introductory statistics.  For a complete archive of the messages posted to the apstat listserver go to http://mathforum.org/epigone/apstat-l.  To join the ap-stat listserver go to http://lyris.collegeboard.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?site=collegeboard&enter=ap-stat.
