Just as every AP course has a set of rubrics and scoring guides, our AT courses develop assessments and scoring criteria with our university partners. As previously mentioned, we annually audit our AT courses by sharing assessments and a sampling of student work with our university partners to ensure rigor. We have also developed some common rubrics for our desired student learning outcomes that our AT teachers use to develop their assessment criteria.
Finally, just like our AP courses, AT classes are not graded on a curve. In both cases, we use a standards-based approach for AP and AT course grades that appear on an SAS transcript. External AP exams, on the other hand, are often graded on a curve.
