College Board to eliminate Advance Placement Italian test, as planned

(January 8, 2009)

By Beckie Supiano

The College Board is going ahead with plans to discontinue its Advanced Placement Italian examination after this spring, despite efforts by Italian-American groups to raise enough money to save it, The Washington Post reported today.

The Italian Language Foundation had raised more than $650,000 in an effort to save the test, but fell short of the $1.5-million it said the College Board requested, according to the Post. The Italian exam, along with several others, is being canceled due to low participation.
