Congrats to AP Calc AB & BC teachers & students: learning is now back to pre-pandemic levels. Also, score verification this year confirmed that the standards long in place for this exam remain appropriate for predicting success when students place ahead in college math sequences.
41 AP Calculus BC students, out of ~119,000 worldwide whose exams have been scored so far, earned all 108/108 points possible on this year’s free-response and MC questions. We’ll notify these students and their schools in September.
AP Calc BC soared across most of the MC section, although many found Infinite Sequences and Series (Unit 10) quite challenging; 23% of students earned most of those available points.
AP Calc BC FR questions: Q5 is a good predictor of whether a student will score a 3+; you generally need to be able to earn 4 or more of the points on it: apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap24…
AP Calc BC FR questions: the most advanced question was Q6 (Maclaurin series), aimed at the strongest BC students; students getting 1s/2s are generally unable to earn any of these points: apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap24…

This year was a college score verification year for AP US Govt (happens every 5-10 years). We’ve posted info on this year’s score verification process within the Online Teacher Community for AP Gov teachers.
Many AP US Gov classes have transitioned in recent years from semester to yearlong, such that AP students are now receiving on average 125 hours of instruction on this material, compared to the 48 hours college students get, part of the reason for the high % of 4s/5s.

The APUSH score distribution is psychometrically derived from large-scale campus research, which found that a significantly broader proportion of APUSH students now outperform their college peers in subsequent college history courses.
In many ways the findings on APUSH students’ strong success when placing ahead in college is unsurprising: tallying of instructional hours has found that APUSH students now typically spend many more hours in instruction on this material than those taking a college USH survey.

I receive some recurring questions about the AP score distributions I post, so here are the key reminders.
Reminder #1: These scores represent a critical mass of scored exams, but faculty will continue to score late arriving exams throughout June. So we don’t upload scores for educators and students to view until all subjects are complete and most late-arriving exams are scored.
Reminder #1a: If you’re an AP student, here’s information about how to make sure you’re able to view your AP scores starting July 8. spr.ly/60145AfYi

The 2023 AP US Government and Politics scores: 5: 13%; 4: 11%; 3: 25%; 2: 24%; 1: 27%. These scores and the required points are consistent over the past decade. I wish colleges were less stringent in the points they require for 3s/4s/5s in this subject!
43 students so far, out of 332,000 who took this year’s AP US Government & Politics Exam, achieved all 120/120 points possible across their essays and exam questions. We’ll notify them and their schools in the fall when late exam scoring is complete.
AP US Government students demonstrated such strong knowledge in the MC section on SCOTUS case applications: 36% of students earned every such point; of the course units, they scored best on Civil Liberties & Civil Rights (Unit 3), where 24% answered every question right.
