I thought I would mention this as while some AP curriculum are being diluted / reduced, Chemistry absolutely is not.


Not true - 17.9% got 5s, same as 2024. https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/about-ap-scores/score-distributions/ap-chemistry

Interesting. I wasn't aware that schools would give credit for it without it including a lab component.
