The article "Larger Share of Students Succeed on A.P. Tests" reports that a larger share of high school students are now passing the AP exam. Last year more than 15% of the 2.8 million students who graduated from public high schools passed at least on AP exam. While the fraction of African Americans passing at least one AP exam is lower than whites the gap between whites and Hispanics is negligible, although if the Spanish AP exam is excluded the pass rate for Hispanics would drop to 7.5%.
