[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There aren't curves in AP tests, if anything they're getting progressively more difficult. Did you not see any of the stats that came out this year? 52% of takers failed APUSh for example. [/quote] Or the students are getting progressively worse or unprepared. APUSH coursework and exams went through a major revision in 2015. 52% also failed in 2021 and 2022 (COVID). No evidence that the exams are getting more difficult. Source: https://www.totalregistration.net/AP-Exam-Registration-Service/Compare-Score-Distributions.php?id=15&year=2023 You are correct--I shouldn't have used the term curved. Not sure what the correct term is but I was trying to explain to the OP that a 5 on the exam isn't equivalent to a 100-point grading scale. Some of the harder exams only require students to get 52% of questions correct to score a 5 whereas easier exams a 5 is closer to 80% correct. [/quote]
