African Americans Less Likely

The A.P. program is growing steadily, but not as evenly, across the country. There is still an ethnic gap that exists in American education.

The College Board reports that while Hispanic, Asian, and white students are improving, African Americans are behind when it comes to taking A.P. exams. No state has yet gained ground in this issue, however, the number of low-income students taking these exams have gone up.

With the recession weighing us down, it is essential that we use every available resource provided for us. The economic benefits of the A.P. program can help with cutting those college costs.
