作者试图更好地理解参加大学先修课程（AP）的学生与随后在学业能力倾向测试（SAT）中的表现之间的关系。以2010年从美国公立高中毕业的学生为研究对象，作者使用倾向分数将三年级AP考试的学生与高中没有参加任何AP考试的类似学生进行匹配。这些匹配样本的多水平回归模型表明，AP考试参与与高三SAT成绩之间的关系主要是正相关的，特别是对于得分在3分或更高的学生。进入AP学年的学生，其初始成绩相对较低，预计在随后的SAT考试中比具有相似初始成绩但不参加AP的学生表现略好。
ABSTRACT The authors sought to better understand the relationship between students participating in the Advanced Placement (AP) program and subsequent performance on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Focusing on students graduating from U.S. public high schools in 2010, the authors used propensity scores to match junior year AP examinees in 3 subjects to similar students who did not take any AP exams in high school. Multilevel regression models with these matched samples demonstrate a mostly positive relationship between AP exam participation and senior year SAT performance, particularly for students who score a 3 or higher. Students who enter into the AP year with relatively lower initial achievement are predicted to perform slightly better on later SAT tests than students with similar initial achievement who do not participate in AP.
