When rigor becomes the norm rather than the exception, the result can be transformative for both students and faculty. AP Precalculus is opening doors to advanced math—especially for students who may not have pictured themselves in AP. In Pennsylvania’s Bethlehem Area School District and Chambersburg Area Senior High School, early results show how AP Precalculus is improving student outcomes and helping build resilience and confidence for what comes next.

Expanding Pathways for Pennsylvania Students

Explore how AP^® courses and the SAT^® Suite of Assessments open doors to college, career, and military success.

Advance in STEM
AP STEM courses can help build a stronger pathway across math, science, and technology, giving students access to rigorous coursework that supports future STEM study and careers.

Career Kickstart
AP Career Kickstart™ courses can strengthen existing CTE programs of study, giving students the chance to build professional career skills, earn college credit through AP, and gain stackable employer-endorsed credentials.

Make Honors Count
Replace, not rebuild: Swap an existing honors course with its AP equivalent—using the staff, schedule, and structures you already have. Make existing rigor more visible through a nationally recognized program. 

Start with One
One well-placed AP course in grades 9 or 10 can give more students an early path into advanced coursework, building key skills like working with data, evaluating evidence, and constructing arguments. 

Support Your Students with AP

Build an AP program that connects to the priorities of your school and community, and ensure your students are set up for success on their path after high school.

Build confidence and readiness. When students take the test during the school day, they’re more comfortable, more confident, and more likely to participate. Plus, the SAT provides every student with the most comprehensive, effective set of free practice resources available.  

Inspire a personalized plan. The SAT helps students put college and career opportunities within reach. When students check their scores on the BigFuture School app, they receive a list of in-demand careers in Pennsylvania that align with their academic skills, helping them explore career options. 

Break down barriers. Offering the SAT during the school day removes common barriers students may face like securing transportation or juggling work or family responsibilities. Flexible testing windows in the fall and spring make it easier for districts and schools to offer SAT School Day.
