Wow. The 2019 AP US History scores are the largest one-year increase in student mastery I’ve seen in APUSH, the highest % of 5s in the past decade + significant increases in 3s and 4s as well. Nice work, APUSH teachers and students.
The 2019 AP US History scores: 5: 12.1%; 4: 18.7%; 3: 23.5%; 2: 22%; 1: 23.7%.
12 students so far this year, out of ~215,000, have earned all 140/140 points possible on this year’s AP US History exam.
AP US History multiple-choice questions: students generally scored higher on questions about 19th/20th centuries than about periods 1-3 (prior to 1800).
AP US History short answers: students generally scored very high on Q2 (Manifest Destiny); 30% earned 3/3 points on it. This said, student performance across every one of the short answer questions was solid.
AP US History DBQ: 65% of students earned the thesis point; 34% earned the contextualization point; 7% earned all 3 evidence points, 31% earned 2 evidence points, & 45% earned 1 evidence pnt; 4% earned both analysis pnts, and 21% earned one analysis pnt. Improvements over 2018!
AP US History Long Essay: 3x more students chose Q3 (slavery debates) than Q2 (ideas of self-government, 1754-76) or Q4 (African-American Civil Rights movement); scores were generally higher on Q2 and Q3 than Q4. apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap19-frq-u…
