Connecticut, nation taking more Advanced Placement tests

Testing may have a bad rap these days, but more and more high school students are taking and passing Advanced Placement Exams in the state and the nation. Nationwide, more than 2.7 million students took AP subject tests in 2017, an increase from 2.6 million last year. In Connecticut, some 28,961 sat down for one or more AP tests in the last school year, a 4.9 percent increase over the previous school year. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s office, who released the data, said in a statement that the increase demonstrates that more students are tackling and being successful with college-level materials.
