AP, Advanced Placement classes, meant for the scholarly student that are assumed to gain broad knowledge about a subject. The Princeton Review, the company who writes the books for these AP students, are known for their success and deemed as "flawless." With The Princeton Review's version on AP tests anyone can get a higher score, right? Based on these covers, the AP English Literature and Composition, U.S. History, Calculus AB & BC and Physics C exams are focused for a certain audience. It has usually been presumed that males were good at Mathematics and Science while the females were good at English and History. This image depicts, even now in 2013, that the belief still surges through. What strikes me that even those with and "ivy league" title were careless/ignorant enough to portray their covers as such. Another thing to notice is the people's position. The women seem reserved, shy if you may, merely concealing their pride and the men in the other hand seem to be more open and prideful.. All are smiling at least. It is just quite intriguing how even if through our conscious or unconscious decisions we tend to classify roles to certain sexes. It's amazing how sexism runs society.
