Regulations section of this notice. 

We reference the regulations outlining

4. Performance Measures: Under the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act of 1993 (GPRA), the Department has 

developed five performance measures to 

evaluate the overall effectiveness of the 

AP Test Fee and Advanced Placement 

Incentive (API) programs: (1) The 

number of advanced placement tests 

taken by low-income public school 

students nationally; (2) The number of 

advanced placement tests taken by 

minority (Hispanic, Black, Native 

American) public school students 

nationally; (3) The percentage of 

advanced placement tests passed (for 

AP exams, receiving scores of 3–5) by 

low-income public school students 

nationally; (4) The number of advanced 

placement tests passed (for AP exams, 

receiving scores of 3–5) by low-income 

public school students nationally; and 

(5) The cost per passage of an advanced 

placement test taken by a low-income

provided by grantees in their final 

performance reports will be one of the 

sources of data for this measure. Other
