An Associated Press article dated January 25, 2005, reports that the number of U.S. students who have passed an Advanced Placement (AP) exam has increased. Across the country, approximately 13% of the high school class of 2004 passed at least one AP test with a score of 3 or better (on a 5-point scale). The article is based on a recent report from the College Board, which is the nonprofit organization that runs the AP system. Students who pass an AP exam receive college credit for the subject matter on the exam.
