You're interpreting the data wrong. These courses are usually taken by advanced students, which is why they get a solid score on the exam.


It takes less than 60% correct to get a 5 on BC. High school course scored for high school kids.

I think they get a solid score because 60% of the test is Calc AB which many schools (my kids’ included) require as a prerequisite. Also, so many seniors are phoning in it at this point, I’m shocked it was still 80%!


BC pass rates are generally higher than AB. Mostly because students in BC learn the same topics from AB but at a faster rate + 2 new topics equivalent to Calc 2 in college.

I don’t see it as a surprise, even if my DD took AB and only got a 3..

My kid did not do ab. Some do, some don’t.

I agree it really depends on the student's processing speed abilities.
