As more high schools rush to offer Advanced Placement courses, the College Board says it will soon start auditing all such courses to ensure schools aren’t watering down the program’s standards.
Trevor Packer, the director of the College Board’s AP program, announced the audit plan here this month at a conference attended by more than 2,500 school principals and AP teachers and coordinators.
“The audit is not asking them to do anything they haven’t done all along, … except signing off on the audit form,” Mr. Packer said.
