The material contrasts national and regional patterns from 1992–2028, highlights state-level counts for 2012, and examines key concepts such as AP students versus AP examinees, cohorts versus administration, and access versus success. It also challenges common assumptions (course choice, language access, parent familiarity) by asking whether the presented data support or negate
