Hey friends, does anyone have an idea about the 2024 AP Government score distribution? I kind of want to know where I stand in the big picture. Any help would be appreciated!
Hello there,
Unfortunately, the College Board, which administers AP exams, releases the score distributions for each exam in the late summer after the tests have been graded. If we were presently still in the spring or early summer, you would need to wait until the scoring process has been completed and the distributions are released.
This data provides an overview of how all students performed on the exam on a scale of 1 to 5, but keep in mind that it can't tell you exactly where you stand in comparison to your peers. The score you receive is a reflection of your own individual mastery of the course content, as per the College Board's criteria.
However, if we've moved beyond the late summer and the College Board has already released AP score distributions for the year, the information should be available on their website. You'll likely find percentages of students who scored a 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 on the exam.
Remember, as you review this data, that a score of 3 or higher is generally considered passing, though some colleges require a 4 or 5 for credit.
I hope this helps, and best of luck with your studies!
