NCAPP Mission
The mission of the Partnership between The College Board and the state of North Carolina is to prepare, inspire, and connect students to postsecondary success and opportunity, with a particular focus on minority students and students who are underrepresented in postsecondary education.
“It is the intent of the State of North Carolina to enhance accessibility and encourage students to enroll in and successfully complete more rigorous advanced courses to enable success in postsecondary education for all students. The North Carolina State Board of Education shall seek a partner to form the North Carolina Advanced Placement Partnership, hereinafter referred to as Partnership, to assist in improving college readiness of secondary students and to assist secondary schools to ensure that students have access to high-quality, rigorous academics with a focus on access to Advanced Placement courses (G.S. 115C-83.4A).”

Expand access to AP with AP Potential
AP Potential™ is a free, Web-based tool that helps you increase access to AP® by using PSAT/NMSQT® score data to identify students with the potential to succeed in AP.
Research shows that PSAT/NMSQT scores predict performance on specific AP Exams — often with more accuracy than other traditionally used methods.
AP Potential can help you ensure that students take advantage of the opportunities they have earned.
