Thanks everyone for the explanation!

After reading through the article above, I am left wondering how much time / effort did the Black candidates put in to be successful. The article mentioned that other professions have standardized exams that everyone must pass, so why is this exam / case different?

I've taken one professional exam in my life(http://www.ascp.org/FunctionalNaviga...ification.aspx) and my class at my particular school consited of 8 people: 2 Iranians, 1 Indian (from India), 1 African and 4 Black Americans. 6 of us passed and two didn't. The two who did not pass were Black Americans. So no one can say that the exam was biased based on race.

I knew I had to study, I did and I passed on my first try.
