I believe I mentioned some of this in a previous posting.  Please forgive
any redundancy.

I studied a sample of students taking the introductory calculus based
mechanics course at Penn State.  Approximately 73% of the students who had
listed themselves as having an AP course in high school earned As or Bs in
the course.  Of the students who did not take an AP course, over 70% of the
sample earned Cs or less.

When the two groups were compared on SAT math, Penn State math pretests, and
high school grade point averages, there were no significant differences.

I am assuming that students who listed AP physics in high school actually
had two years of study.  In the group's experinece, is that a safe
assumption?  I would appreciate a personal reply form all subscribers.  I
will tally the results and post to physhare.

Personally, I expect the second year is the important variable rather than AP.
