Hispanic students participate in advanced programming at a much lower rate than their White peers. Although Advanced Placement (AP) can have a positive impact on future academic success and attainment of long-term goals, limited research has investigated factors that contribute to AP success for gifted Hispanic students. This study examined factors potentially predictive of success on AP exams for gifted Hispanic students. Contrary to prior literature, findings revealed that race/ethnicity was not a factor that significantly affected AP success for these gifted students. In addition, when examining the performance of all the Hispanic AP students, the only factor that significantly contributed to passing an AP exam was identification as gifted. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research are discussed.

西班牙天才学生进阶先修考试成功预测因素的探索

西班牙裔学生参与高级编程的比率远低于白人学生。尽管先修课程 (AP) 可以对未来的学业成功和长期目标的实现产生积极影响，但有限的研究调查了有助于有天赋的西班牙裔学生获得 AP 成功的因素。这项研究调查了可能预测有天赋的西班牙裔学生在 AP 考试中取得成功的因素。与之前的文献相反，调查结果显示种族/民族并不是显着影响这些天才学生 AP 成功的因素。此外，在检查所有西班牙裔 AP 学生的表现时，唯一有助于通过 AP 考试的因素是被认定为天才。讨论了实践的意义和对未来研究的建议。
