 WASHINGTON (AP) - More public high school seniors took and passed Advanced Placement tests in nearly every state last year, but racial gaps remained.
In the nation's public schools, 14.1 percent of the class of 2005 passed at least one AP test, up from 13.2 percent a year before, the College Board reported Tuesday. In 2000, 10.2 percent of high school seniors passed a test.
Average scores were steady from 2004 to 2005, even though more students took the exams.
