STUDENT SCORE DISTRIBUTIONS

Introduction

The May 20

18 College Board AP Exams were taken by 2,808,990 students from 22,612 secondary schools.

College and high school instructors, called Readers, who are familiar with college-level course demands, scored

the free-response sections from the 5,090,324 examinations taken. Computers at ETS® scored the multiple

-choice sections.

The Chief Readers, relying on their subject-matter expertise, statistical equating data, data from comparability

studies, and historical trends, determine the score-setting thresholds for the 5 -point AP score scale: 5 = extremely well qualified, 4 = well qualified, 3 = qualified, 2 = possibly qualified, 1 = no recommendation.

Summary Table of Students'

Scores

The scores earned on the May 2018 AP Exams are summarized in the form of score distributions shown in the

table on the next two pages. For each exam, the table provides the number and percentages of students receiving

each score, the total number of students, and the mean and standard deviation of scores.

Additional information
