AP Statistics Score Distribution?

Hey everyone! Just curious about the AP Statistics score distribution, like what percentage of students get each score (1-5). Can anyone provide me with some stats or a source with this info? Thanks!

Hey there! AP Statistics score distribution can vary each year, but I can provide you with a general idea based on the most recent data from College Board. Keep in mind that the exact percentages change annually due to differences in student performance, exam difficulty, and exam administration conditions. However, you can generally expect something like the following distribution:

- 5: 15.1%

- 4: 20.7%

- 3: 22.2%

- 2: 21.5%

- 1: 20.5%

Typically, a majority of students (58%) score a 3 or higher on the AP Statistics exam, which is generally considered as the passing threshold for college credit, although specific college policies may differ. Remember, though, future score distributions may be different.

For historical information on score distributions, you can visit the College Board's annual reports or their social media, where they often share updated score distributions each year when AP scores are released. Finally, if you're looking for ways to ensure that you personally do as well as possible on your AP Statistics exam, you can find a comprehensive breakdown of what to expect on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-ap-statistics-exam

Good luck!
