Thanks to Gerry Gillis and @keyhyers for kicking off @AdvanceKentucky's AP Calculus Master Series! If you have to be up early on a Saturday morning, you might as well do some calculus!

More good news: this year’s AP Computer Science A students demonstrated slightly stronger mastery than last year’s, so scores have risen, even as educators have expanded access to 19% more students than the prior school year.

The most challenging question on this year’s AP Computer Science A exam was Q4 on 2D Array; 34% of students earned 0 of the 9 points possible: apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap23…

AP Computer Science A students generally earned strongest scores in the free-response question on Q3 about Array / ArrayList; 31% earned 8-9 out of the 9 points possible.

18 students so far, out of ~96,000 worldwide, have earned all 80/80 points possible on this year’s AP Computer Science A exam; we’ll notify them and their schools in the fall when all late exams are scored.

This year’s AP Computer Science A students scored extremely well on MC questions about Array, ArrayList, and 2D Array (Units 6-8), with 20% of students earning all or all but one point possible on these topics.

The 2023 AP Computer Science A Exam scores: 5: 27%; 4: 22%; 3: 18%; 2: 10%; 1: 23%.
