# [2015-16 AP + PLTW Student Achievement Results | PLTW](https://www.pltw.org/blog/2015-16-ap-pltw-student-achievement-results)

 Written by [PLTW](https://www.pltw.org/blog/author/pltw) | December 2, 2016

We’re pleased to announce that more than 1,300 students received the [AP + PLTW Student Achievement ](https://www.pltw.org/our-programs/ap-pltw)in its inaugural year. This first-of-its-kind achievement signals that a student is prepared for and interested in college and a career in a critical STEM-related field. Students who earn the achievement have demonstrated success in both academic and applied coursework and have experienced applying advanced content knowledge to address real-world challenges. To earn the recognition, a student must satisfactorily complete three courses in the pathway – one AP course; one PLTW course; and a third course, either AP or PLTW – and earn a qualifying score of 3 or higher on the AP Exam(s) and a score of Proficient or higher on the PLTW End-of-Course (EoC) assessment(s).
