About this data
Source: College Board’s published AP Exam score distributions (2002–2026), to a tenth of a percent. “Mean” is computed from the published 1–5 percentages — College Board does not publish per-exam means. An exam with a blank year (e.g. Precalculus before 2024) had not yet launched. 2026 is the latest year College Board has published. Dataset version 2026.5.
