JACK N. ARBOLINO
Director of the
Advanced Placement Program
October 1963
Dear Sir:
Enclosed you will find a School Participation Form and a copy of the 1963-64
Guide to the Advanced Placement Program. The form is self-explanatory; the
Guide contains a concise description of the College Board's program for helping
high schools offer college-level courses to their best students.
I should like to call your attention to page 24 of the Guide, which carries a
summary of the procedure for administering the examinations. If your school
is planning to prepare any students for the examinations next May, we would
appreciate your filling out the form now and sending it to the Princeton address.
If the Advanced Placement Program has not yet been made available to
your students and you would like to know more about it, please feel free to call
on us for further information.
Sincerely yours,
⟦Jack N. Arbolino⟧

Schools planning to administer Advanced Placement
Examinations to their students in May 1964 are asked
to indicate their desire to do so and to designate an
Advanced Placement Examinations Coordinator on
this form. Schools that do not plan to administer the
examinations should not return the form.
The Coordinator will be responsible for making all
necessary arrangements for giving the examinations.
Upon return of this form, the Coordinator will be sent
two copies of Information for Coordinators. This booklet
is intended to assist the Coordinator by providing him
with the examination schedule and detailed informa-
tion about the registration of candidates, ordering
copies of Bulletin for Students, the collection of fees,
and other arrangements for the examinations. No ad-
ditional order need be placed by the school to receive
Information for Coordinators.
Please complete this form and return not later
than December 6, 1963, to:

Memorandum for Schools and Colleges
Subject: The 1964 College Board Supplementary Achievement Tests
During the 1963-64 academic year, the College Board again will offer its Supplementary Achievement Tests Program to schools for administration to interested students. Thirty-minute Listening Comprehension Tests in French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish, and ninety-minute Achievement Tests in Greek and Italian will be offered.
Schools that prepare students in these subject-matter areas may arrange with Educational Testing Service (ETS), which conducts the program for the College Board, to administer any or all of these tests to their students on Tuesday, February 4, 1964.
The tests are administered by the school, at the school. Answer sheets and books will be returned to ETS for scoring. Score reports will be issued in March. The College Board pays all costs for shipment of test materials but cannot provide supervisory honoraria for the Supplementary Achievement Tests.
Students are advised to take one of the Listening Comprehension Tests only if they have taken or plan to take the Achievement Test in that language on one of the five test administration dates specified above. The Russian Achievement Test will be offered at College Board test centers in January only. Since the Italian Achievement Test and the Italian Listening Comprehension Test are available only in the Supplementary Achievement Tests Program, a student who wishes to take both tests will have to take them on the same day. He may, of course, elect to take only the Achievement Test.
The five Listening Comprehension Tests require tape-playing facilities. No script will be provided. Only tapes recorded at 7 1/2 inches-per-second will be supplied. If a school without tape-playing facilities wishes to administer the tests, the necessary equipment can often be rented locally at nominal cost. Rental arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the individual school.
Eligibility
Any student registered or planning to register for an administration of the College Board's Achievement Tests, given this academic year on December 7, January 11, March 7, May 2, and July 8, is eligible to take one or more of the Supplementary Achievement Tests. There is no additional fee. Students themselves should not apply to the College Board or ETS to take a Supplementary Achievement Test. A test order blank will be sent in late November to schools that fill out and submit the enclosed preliminary estimate form. On the test order blank, schools will be asked to certify that all students for whom Supplementary Achievement Tests are being ordered have given assurance that they have registered, or expect to register, for an administration of College Board Achievement Tests on one of the above dates.
All the Listening Comprehension Tests except Italian are reported on the customary 200-800 College Board score scale. A percentile rank table will be supplied with score reports for the Listening Comprehension Test in Italian since it is not included in the 1963-64 editions of College Board Score Reports: A Guide for Counselors or College Board Score Reports: A Guide for Admissions Officers. Scores for the Italian Listening Comprehension Test will be reported on a one-digit score scale.
Listening Comprehension Tests:
French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish
The aim of these five tests is to give certain candidates an additional opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency in a foreign language. Colleges may request candidates to take one of these tests provided their schools can make the necessary arrangements. It is not expected, however, that colleges will make any of the supplementary tests prerequisites for admission inasmuch as they are not available at College Board test centers.
Achievement Tests: Greek and Italian
The Greek and Italian Achievement Tests are each prepared and scored by a single well-qualified examiner. They are offered only in the Supplementary Achievement Test Program. Since each test requires 90 minutes of uninterrupted working time, schools may wish to give them outside the usual class period. The College Board recommends that schools should further arrange to administer the Italian Achievement Test before the Italian Listening Comprehension Test for students who plan to take both tests. Otherwise, there are no special administrative requirements for the Greek and Italian tests. Booklets for recording answers will be provided as part of the test materials.
Because of the relatively small number of candidates anticipated for the two tests and the inclusion of free-response materials in each, the test scores will be reported on a different and simpler score scale than the 200-800
Page 180
College Board scale. Interpretive material for these tests
will be supplied with the score reports, since it is not
provided in the score interpretation publications.
Descriptive Materials
A description of the seven Supplementary Achievement
Tests will be found in a new booklet, A Description of the
College Board Supplementary Achievement Tests, a copy
of which has already been sent to all schools whose
students took College Board Admissions Tests last year.
An additional supply may be ordered without cost if
needed.
The booklet is intended to give both students and
teachers information about the nature of the tests, the
types of questions used, and the abilities and skills they
measure. It contains sample questions for each of the
seven tests. A demonstration tape for use with the sample
questions of listening comprehension is available to
secondary schools participating in the Supplementary
Achievement Tests Program. A copy of the tape will be
sent to these schools upon request and without charge.
(The tape is approximately one hour in length and is
recorded at 3¾ inches-per-second rather than the 7½
inches-per-second speed of the tapes used in the February
test administration.)
Test Security
It is essential that the same security measures applied to
admissions tests at College Board test centers be en-
forced by schools ordering these supplementary tests.
Until the time of administration, the tests must be kept
under lock in a place to which not more than a few
authorized persons have access. No copy whatever is to
be made of any portion of the taped or printed test
materials.
Test content, whether in a tape recording or test
booklet, can be disclosed only to the students themselves
in the course of taking the tests, and all test materials
must be returned immediately after the test administra-
tion in accordance with Educational Testing Service's
instructions. To avoid any possible breach of security,
each test should be administered at only one time on
Tuesday, February 4.
Test Supervision
The Board hopes to achieve in the administration of the
Supplementary Achievement Tests the same conditions
of uniformly fair, standardized testing that exist at
regular College Board centers. One condition at regular
centers is that only candidates may see the tests. To
achieve this in the case of the Listening Comprehension
Tests, it is necessary to stipulate that teachers not serve
as supervisors or proctors of tests in the languages they
teach, since this of necessity would give them a full
knowledge of test content. The Board asks, therefore,
that the tests be administered by the principal or guid-
ance counselor, or by a teacher of some subject other
than the one being tested. The tapes, and instructions
for their checking and use, have been prepared so as not
to require a knowledge of the languages involved.
Preliminary Estimate of Numbers of
Tests Needed
To help us determine printing quantities for the various
tests, schools are asked now to estimate as closely as
possible the number of students expected to take each
test. Although copies of this memorandum are being sent
to the school principal, the guidance director and the
chairman of the foreign language department, the College
Board asks that either the principal or the guidance
director handle preliminary arrangements and adminis-
tration of the tests. The enclosed preliminary estimate
form, however, should be signed only by the principal.
In arriving at estimates of how many students are
anticipated for each Supplementary Achievement Test,
the principal or guidance director is asked to coordinate
with the chairman of the foreign language department
to avoid submission of duplicate estimates. Confirmation
of these estimates will be requested through the official
test order blank, which will be mailed to the schools in
late November. Preliminary estimate forms should be
received in the Princeton or Berkeley Office of ETS,
whichever the school customarily deals with, by October
21 at the latest. Only schools that submit an estimate
form will automatically receive a test order blank later
this fall.

tary Achievement Tests should be addressed to:

Subject: The 1963-64 Supplementary Achievement Tests Program (February 4, 1964)
This program, described fully in the enclosed announcement, enables the College
Board in cooperation with schools to administer Listening Comprehension Tests
in French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish to students who wish to take
these tests in conjunction with the Achievement Tests series of the Board's Admis-
sions Testing Program. It also provides the only opportunity for students to take
College Board Achievement Tests in Greek and Italian.
Two extra copies of the program announcement are enclosed for circulation
among your foreign language teachers and guidance staff. If, after consultation
with these members of your staff, you decide to administer one or more of these
tests, please complete and sign the Preliminary Estimate Form on the reverse side
and mail it to the appropriate address. This will insure your receipt of an order
blank in time for you to order, receive, and administer the tests.
Should you wish to receive a copy of the sample tape prepared for use with the
booklet, A Description of the College Board Supplementary Achievement Tests,
please check the appropriate box on the reverse side.
Thank you for your cooperation.

The Russian Achievement Test will be offered at College Board test centers in January only. Since the Italian Achievement Test and the Italian Listening Comprehension Test are available only in the Supplementary Achievement Tests Program, a student who wishes to take both tests will have to take them on the same day. He may, of course, elect to take only the Achievement Test.
The five Listening Comprehension Tests require tape-playing facilities. No script will be provided. Only tapes recorded at 7 1/2 inches-per-second will be supplied. If a school without tape-playing facilities wishes to administer the tests, the necessary equipment can often be rented locally at nominal cost. Rental arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the individual school.
Eligibility
Any student registered or planning to register for an administration of the College Board's Achievement Tests, given this academic year on December 7, January 11, March 7, May 2, and July 8, is eligible to take one or more of the Supplementary Achievement Tests. There is no additional fee. Students themselves should not apply to the College Board or ETS to take a Supplementary Achievement Test. A test order blank will be sent in late November to schools that fill out and submit the enclosed preliminary estimate form. On the test order blank, schools will be asked to certify that all students for whom Supplementary Achievement Tests are being ordered have given assurance that they have registered, or expect to register, for an administration of College Board Achievement Tests on one of the above dates.
All the Listening Comprehension Tests except Italian are reported on the customary 200-800 College Board score scale. A percentile rank table will be supplied with score reports for the Listening Comprehension Test in Italian since it is not included in the 1963-64 editions of College Board Score Reports: A Guide for Counselors or College Board Score Reports: A Guide for Admissions Officers. Scores for the Italian Listening Comprehension Test will be reported on a one-digit score scale.
Listening Comprehension Tests:
French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish
The aim of these five tests is to give certain candidates an additional opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency in a foreign language. Colleges may request candidates to take one of these tests provided their schools can make the necessary arrangements. It is not expected, however, that colleges will make any of the supplementary tests prerequisites for admission inasmuch as they are not available at College Board test centers.
Achievement Tests: Greek and Italian
The Greek and Italian Achievement Tests are each prepared and scored by a single well-qualified examiner. They are offered only in the Supplementary Achievement Test Program. Since each test requires 90 minutes of uninterrupted working time, schools may wish to give them outside the usual class period. The College Board recommends that schools should further arrange to administer the Italian Achievement Test before the Italian Listening Comprehension Test for students who plan to take both tests. Otherwise, there are no special administrative requirements for the Greek and Italian tests. Booklets for recording answers will be provided as part of the test materials.
Because of the relatively small number of candidates anticipated for the two tests and the inclusion of free-response materials in each, the test scores will be reported on a different and simpler score scale than the 200-800
Page 183
College Board scale. Interpretive material for these tests
will be supplied with the score reports, since it is not
provided in the score interpretation publications.
Descriptive Materials
A description of the seven Supplementary Achievement
Tests will be found in a new booklet, A Description of the
College Board Supplementary Achievement Tests, a copy
of which has already been sent to all schools whose
students took College Board Admissions Tests last year.
An additional supply may be ordered without cost if
needed.
The booklet is intended to give both students and
teachers information about the nature of the tests, the
types of questions used, and the abilities and skills they
measure. It contains sample questions for each of the
seven tests. A demonstration tape for use with the sample
questions of listening comprehension is available to
secondary schools participating in the Supplementary
Achievement Tests Program. A copy of the tape will be
sent to these schools upon request and without charge.
(The tape is approximately one hour in length and is
recorded at 3¾ inches-per-second rather than the 7½
inches-per-second speed of the tapes used in the February
test administration.)
Test Security
It is essential that the same security measures applied to
admissions tests at College Board test centers be en-
forced by schools ordering these supplementary tests.
Until the time of administration, the tests must be kept
under lock in a place to which not more than a few
authorized persons have access. No copy whatever is to
be made of any portion of the taped or printed test
materials.
Test content, whether in a tape recording or test
booklet, can be disclosed only to the students themselves
in the course of taking the tests, and all test materials
must be returned immediately after the test administra-
tion in accordance with Educational Testing Service's
instructions. To avoid any possible breach of security,
each test should be administered at only one time on
Tuesday, February 4.
Test Supervision
The Board hopes to achieve in the administration of the
Supplementary Achievement Tests the same conditions
of uniformly fair, standardized testing that exist at
regular College Board centers. One condition at regular
centers is that only candidates may see the tests. To
achieve this in the case of the Listening Comprehension
Tests, it is necessary to stipulate that teachers not serve
as supervisors or proctors of tests in the languages they
teach, since this of necessity would give them a full
knowledge of test content. The Board asks, therefore,
that the tests be administered by the principal or guid-
ance counselor, or by a teacher of some subject other
than the one being tested. The tapes, and instructions
for their checking and use, have been prepared so as not
to require a knowledge of the languages involved.
Preliminary Estimate of Numbers of
Tests Needed
To help us determine printing quantities for the various
tests, schools are asked now to estimate as closely as
possible the number of students expected to take each
test. Although copies of this memorandum are being sent
to the school principal, the guidance director and the
chairman of the foreign language department, the College
Board asks that either the principal or the guidance
director handle preliminary arrangements and adminis-
tration of the tests. The enclosed preliminary estimate
form, however, should be signed only by the principal.
In arriving at estimates of how many students are
anticipated for each Supplementary Achievement Test,
the principal or guidance director is asked to coordinate
with the chairman of the foreign language department
to avoid submission of duplicate estimates. Confirmation
of these estimates will be requested through the official
test order blank, which will be mailed to the schools in
late November. Preliminary estimate forms should be
received in the Princeton or Berkeley Office of ETS,
whichever the school customarily deals with, by October
21 at the latest. Only schools that submit an estimate
form will automatically receive a test order blank later
this fall.

Memorandum for: Recipients of scores on the College Board Achievement Test in PSSC Physics
In recent years a number of secondary schools have introduced the course in Physics developed by the Physical Science Study Committee. It was felt that the existing College Board Physics Test was not appropriate for PSSC Physics students, and since many candidates were affected, the College Board in 1959 began offering a special PSSC Physics Test for them. Beginning in the 1962-63 academic year a new single test, considered appropriate both for PSSC Physics students and for candidates who have followed traditional curricula, is being offered at some College Board administrations, whereas at other administrations both the traditional Physics Test and the special PSSC Physics Test are being offered.
Scores on the PSSC Physics Test are reported on the College Board scale and may be interpreted in the same way as scores on other College Board Achievement Tests.* Because data on candidate performance are not included in the College Board publications concerned with score interpretation, percentile ranks for candidates who took this test at the March 1963 administration are presented in the table below:

Memorandum for: Recipients of scores for students who took the College Board
Achievement Test in American History and Social Studies in
March 1963
Beginning with this academic year, the College Board is offering both
an American History and Social Studies Test and a European History and World
Cultures Test instead of the single Social Studies Test that was part of the
College Board testing program for many years. The decision by the College
Board to offer these new tests was prompted by changes over recent years
that have taken place in secondary school curriculums and in the admissions
testing schedules of many colleges. After reviewing these changes, the
College Board judged that two tests would provide better measurement and
more meaningful information than could be provided by the single Social
Studies Test.
The American History and Social Studies Test, the only one of the two
new tests offered in March 1963, is primarily a test of American history.
However, it contains a small number of questions that deal especially with
American political and economic institutions and which are based on the
content of secondary school economics and government courses. These areas
were also covered by the earlier Social Studies Test, but less intensively,
since that test also included some questions devoted to world history.
Scores on the new test are on the College Board scale and may be
interpreted in the same way as scores on other College Board Achievement
Tests.* The following table presents a distribution of American History
and Social Studies scores of students tested in December 1962 or in
January 1963.

Memorandum for: Recipients of scores for students who took the College Board
Achievement Tests in Biology and Chemistry
In recent years a number of secondary schools have introduced new courses
in the sciences which differ in varying degrees from the more traditional
courses in these subjects. As part of its normal score reporting operation
the College Board has analyzed the test results of the students trained in
these new curricula in an attempt to determine whether they are at a dis-
advantage in comparison with students taking the more traditional courses.
These analyses at the time of score reporting represent an attempt to develop
score interpretation information during a period when more extensive research
is underway but has not been completed.
Analysis of the Chemistry Test administered in May 1962, has led to the
conclusion that when students in two new curricula, developed by the Chemical
Bond Approach (CBA) and the Chemical Education Material Study (CHEMS), are
tested at or near the completion of a course, they may be at a 20 to 25 point
disadvantage when compared with students of equal competence taking traditional
chemistry courses. On this basis we urge college admissions officers to give
extra attention to the student's course of study in the few instances where
a decision might hinge on a difference of this magnitude. Secondary schools
that have adopted these new curricula are requested to indicate on their
transcripts that they have done so.
This statement represents a change from our prior statements that there
seemed to be no disadvantage for these students on the Chemistry Test. The
study in May 1962 followed the same procedures as those used in earlier
studies. However, it provided more dependable evidence than the earlier
studies because, for the May administration, there were about five times as
many examinees from the new chemistry curricula as there had been in past
administrations. It should be noted that other limitations associated with
analyses of data from the normal score reporting process remain. These
results, then, are not considered definitive.
The problem of providing unbiased measurement for students from different
curricula will remain under study during the coming year. We expect that
additional information about chemistry will be available following the
administration of the Chemistry Test in May 1963.
Because the numbers of examinees from the Biological Sciences Curriculum
Study (BSCS) have remained small, it has not been possible to do an intensive
analysis of the Biology Test. What evidence there is seems to indicate that
the Biology Test is appropriate for students from the new biology curricula.
In this case too, however, we would suggest that it might be advisable for an
admissions officer to give special attention to students from these curricula
if a decision hinges on a small score difference.

Memorandum for: Recipients of scores for students who took the College
Board Achievement Tests in Biology and Chemistry in
March, 1962
In recent years a number of secondary schools have introduced new
science courses in biology and chemistry. The new courses, developed by
various curriculum study groups, differ in varying degree from the more
traditional courses in these subjects. As a result, the question has
been asked: Are students who have studied the new courses at a disadvantage
when they take College Board Achievement Tests in Biology and Chemistry?
This memorandum is intended to serve as a guide in the interpretation
of test scores for students who have studied certain of the new curricula.
New chemistry curricula: Two new chemistry courses are now being offered
in some schools to relatively large numbers of students: One is being
developed by the Chemical Bond Approach Project (CBA); the other is being
developed by the Chemical Education Material Study (CHEMS). Both have
been introduced into schools so recently that they affect a relatively
small number of candidates taking College Board tests this year. (Schools
using the new chemistry curricula have been encouraged to notify the
colleges to which their students are applying for admission that these
students have had this different instruction.)
In order to evaluate the implication of curriculum changes for test
score interpretation as quickly as possible, the College Board has con-
ducted a two-phase study. First, qualified people closely associated with
the development of the CBA and CHEMS curricula reviewed the December 1961,
January 1962 and March 1962 College Board Chemistry tests. Each reviewer
was asked to judge the appropriateness of each question in these tests for
candidates who had completed a one-year course in the new curricula.
With these judgments available, it was possible to undertake the
second phase of the study: an analysis of the test scores obtained by
students from schools using the new curricula, in comparison with scores
of students of similar ability who had studied more traditional chemistry
courses.
Studies were made for students who had completed a year of either the
CBA or CHEMS curriculum and who, in addition, had taken the College Board
Chemistry test in December 1961 or March 1962. In each study the scores
of students from a special curriculum were compared with the scores of
students of similar ability who had studied more conventional chemistry
courses. The general measures of ability used in the two studies were
Page 197
-2-
scores on the test questions judged to be appropriate for students in the
special curricula. These comparisons indicated that students from schools
using either of these courses were at no important disadvantage on the
College Board Chemistry test.
New biology curricula: Three new biology courses - all being developed
by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) and known as the Blue,
Green and Yellow versions - have recently been introduced into some
schools. In view of the fact that biology is primarily a sophomore
course in secondary school, and that these new courses were introduced
within the last year or two, very few high school students taking
College Board tests this year have studied the new courses.
The College Board, however, has made a preliminary study similar
to the first phase of the study conducted for the new chemistry curricula:
Qualified people closely connected with the development of each of the
three BSCS courses were asked to review the College Board Biology tests
administered in December 1961, January 1962 and March 1962. Each
reviewer was asked to indicate the extent to which he thought the test
questions were appropriate for candidates who had completed a year of
study in one of the BSCS courses. These judgments appear to indicate
that the College Board Biology test should provide as good a measure of
the ability of the students in any of the three versions of the BSCS
curriculum as the Chemistry test provides for the students in the
special chemistry curricula.
Since there is not yet enough information to make a meaningful
analysis of the performance of BSCS students on the College Board
Biology test, any judgments about the appropriateness of the test for
such students remain tentative. Detailed studies will be carried out
as soon as possible.

Dear Sirs,
I am enclosing, herewith, five applications of students
from this school who will be taking the SAT and Achievement Tests
on March 3, 1962.
The amount of 57 Dollars, covering examination fees,
was remitted by air mail on the 19th instant by the Ottoman
Bank, Baghdad, through their New York Correspondent, the
First National City Bank of New York, New York, for payment
to you through their Princeton correspondent.
At present, the only way we can arrange for payment
in Dollars is by Air Transfer, as all transactions in Dollars
have got to pass through the Foreign Exchange Control Depart-
ment in Baghdad and are settled in this way.
Yours faithfully,
