Hey everyone! I'm really curious about the average passing rates for AP exams. Does anyone know where I can find information on the percentage of students who typically score a 3, 4, or 5 on different AP tests?
Hello! You can find the passing rates for AP exams on the College Board website. The College Board is the organization that administers the AP exams and they publish a comprehensive report every year that includes the statistics on passing rates for each AP subject. Here's the link to the page where you can access the AP Exam Data: https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/about-ap-scores/score-distributions
This page provides detailed information on the percentage of students who score a 3, 4, or 5 on the exams, as well as other useful statistics like the average scores, score distributions, and the number of test-takers for each subject. Make sure to explore the data provided for different years to get a solid understanding of the trends and the variations in passing rates over time.
