    For Fall 2009, there were 221 students who used AP scores to place out of ENG110. Most of these students were new freshmen, though a small handful were transfer students. The correlations between AP scores and ACT English and WRPT English scores are moderate.

    Again, my apologies for the delay in getting you these data. For Fall 2009 there were 221 students who
    used AP scores to place out of ENG110. Most of these students were new freshmen, though a small
    handful were transfer students. Based on this, I think it may be reasonable to say that about one-eighth of
    new freshmen use AP credit to place out of ENG110. The score distribution by AP exam is in the table
    below:

    AP Exam Score 3 4 5 Grand Total


    ENLG 68 20 5 93
    ENLT 83 39 6 128
    Grand Total 151 59 11 221

    At your request, I also ran correlations between AP scores and ACT English and WRPT English scores
    for the 221 students included above; as not all students took each test, there were fewer than 221 students
    in each group. Given the truncation in the AP test score range, I would consider the correlations with the
    AP test scores to be moderate and the correlation between WRPT and ACT to be strong; they are all
    statistically significant at the p < .001 level.

    AP ENG Score ACT Engl Score WRPT Score


    AP ENG Score Pearson Correlation 1 .343** .473**
    Sig. (2-tailed) .000 .000
    N 215 215 199
    ACT Engl Score Pearson Correlation .343** 1 .687**
    Sig. (2-tailed) .000 .000
    N 215 215 199
    WRPT Score Pearson Correlation .473** .687** 1
    Sig. (2-tailed) .000 .000
    N 199 199 199
    **. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).

    I will keep this request on my list to follow up with additional years of data when I am able. Thank you
    again for your patience.
