How do the NC AP English standards differ from material provided by College Board?
With permission of the College Board, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has created course standards that reflect both the expectations of the College Board and the philosophy and format of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study (SCS). However, these course outlines are not intended to replace the extensive guidelines provided by the College Board in AP course description books (often referred to as the acorn books) for each subject. Since the College Board frequently revises recommended topics and required skills, AP teachers should obtain and follow the current course descriptions for their courses.
