 TABLE 1: Per Capita 2001 AP Test Participation by 1999-2000 State Enrollments, Sorted by Rank

How this table was generated:  The student enrollments came from the State of the States Gifted and Talented Education Report, 1999-2000 by the Council of State Directors of Programs for the Gifted and the National Association for Gifted Children (2001).  The number of students taking AP tests in every state came from data available on the AP website of the College Board at http://www.collegeboard.com/ap/library/  This site seems to have been carefully designed to frustrate the researcher.  The data from both sources was entered into a spreadsheet and the results calculated by the spreadsheet, then entered by hand onto this website. Rankings were calculated by using percentages calculated to a greater number of decimal places than appears on the table, so Wyoming had a slightly higher percentage of students taking the test than did Iowa even though both appear to be at 1.2%.  Regional groupings were assigned by AP.

Rankings were calculated by using percentages calculated to a greater number of decimal places than appears on the table, so Wyoming had a slightly higher percentage of students taking the test than did Iowa even though both appear to be at 1.2%.  Regional groupings were assigned by AP.
