AP Exam Pass Rate for Apex Learning Online AP Courses Outperforms National Average by 6 Percentage Points

SEATTLE, Dec. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Apex Learning®, the leading provider of blended and virtual learning solutions to the nation's schools, continues to prepare students for success on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP)* exams. During the 2012-2013 school year, 65 percent of Apex Learning Virtual School AP students scored a 3 or better on the AP exams across courses, outpacing the national average of 59 percent by 6 percentage points.

"Apex Learning online courses are a proven option to ensure all students who demonstrate academic readiness have the opportunity to participate in an Advanced Placement program," Cheryl Vedoe, CEO of Apex Learning, said.  "We are proud of the successful track record of Apex Learning AP students." 

Exposure to AP high standards, as students and teachers attest, help prepare students for success in college.  However, the likelihood of college success is significantly higher for AP students who pass with a score of 3 or better. 

Apex Learning online AP courses are carefully aligned to the College Board standards and designed to support students and teachers working in both blended and virtual learning environments.  The rigorous courses develop the required knowledge and skills — including critical thinking, problem solving, and analyzing skills — students will need to pass the AP exams and be prepared for courses at the college level.
