Lichten, William
Education Policy Analysis Archives, v8 n29 2000
Reviews the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) program, presenting evidence that the average test performance has dropped and pointing out that the College Board's scale and claims for AP qualification disagree seriously with college standards. Suggests that "advanced placement" is coming closer to "placement." (Author/SLD)
