Conley said he could foresee even greater changes to AP courses in the future; perhaps someday AP tests will include work samples done in the classroom for college admissions offices to review, he said.
Blah!! At least these changes won't be coming until 08-09... long after we're gone.
Not surprising - I expected these types of studies/changes after the increasing number of schools who are no longer administering APs, because they feel that they do not give the student a meaningful experience...

well, the fact is that more and more students are just taking ap exams to make it look good on their application, more so than taking an advanced course that they enjoy.
"Research has shown that scoring well on an AP test is a strong predictor of college success, and the Bush administration has made the increasing participation in AP courses a source of pride, especially among minorities."
Can anyone pls explain "the Bush administration"? Should that be any importance to these days' AP exams?
