Interesting Info I found...
In a recent study, the College Board (the group who creates and distributes the AP Exams) found
that:
1). 33% of all college students graduate within 4 years.
2). 45% of college students who have taken just one AP course (whether they passed the AP Exam or
not) graduate from college in 4 years.
3). 61% of college students who have taken two AP courses (whether they passed the AP Exam or
not) graduate from college in 4 years.
