Hey AP students! Your AP Scores are out!

The 2025 AP World History: Modern Exam scores: 5: 14%; 4: 33%; 3: 17%; 2: 27%; 1: 9% Multiple-Choice Questions: Students performed very well across all 9 units, but two units in particular stood out, those focused on 1750-1900 CE: Unit 5 (Revolutions) and Unit 6 (Consequences of Industrialization). 51% of students earned most or all of the points on these questions. Students scored least well on questions focused on 1450-1750 CE: Unit 3 (Land-Based Empires) and 4 (Transoceanic Interconnections). 41% of students earned most or all of the points on these questions. Free-Response Questions: The following commentary on Free Response Questions (FRQ) focuses on FRQ Set 1, which was the version taken by most AP World History students. spr.ly/60104cKB0 AP World History students demonstrated strong knowledge and skills on Short Answer #1, where they analyzed the effect of the discovery of the Americas on Africa. 52% of students earned all points possible on this question. The most difficult question on this year’s AP World History Exam was Short Answer #4 , about factors that contributed to the outbreak of revolutions between 1750 CE to 1900 CE; 30% of students achieved all available points on this task. Students showed stronger performance on this year's Document-Based Question than in recent years, and that’s true of the DBQ in Set 2 as well. In this year's DBQ, students evaluated the impact of new transportation and/or communication technologies on African societies from 1850 CE to 1960 CE: 80% of students earned the thesis point 54% earned the contextualization point 71% earned both evidence from the documents points 19% earned the evidence beyond the documents point 29% earned the analysis and reasoning: sourcing point 17% earned the analysis and reasoning: complexity point The highest scoring Long Essay was Question 2, which prompted students to write about the extent to which Buddhism, Hinduism, and/or Confucianism influenced Asian societies and political systems between 1200 CE and 1450 CE. 30% of students received 5+ of the 6 possible points on this task, a job well done. FRQ Set 2 can be found here: spr.ly/60114cKBF All subjects’ AP score distributions for 2025 will be posted here when available: spr.ly/60124cKB2

@HistoryExtra I would love an episode which outlines chronologically its establishment, conflicts, and ultimate separation that I could play in for my AP European History students!

What would you like to know about the history of Yugoslavia? We’d like your questions for an upcoming ‘Everything you wanted to know’ podcast…

The 2025 AP European History Exam scores: 5: 13%; 4: 35%; 3: 24%; 2: 19%; 1: 9% AP European History MCQs: strong performance on Unit 1: Renaissance and Exploration, and Unit 2: Age of Reformation (c. 1450- c. 1648); 39% of students earned all or nearly all points in these areas. The most challenging MCQs for AP European History students were questions on Unit 8: 20th Century Global Conflicts, and Unit 9: Cold War and Contemporary Europe (c. 1914 - Present); 32% of students earned all or nearly all points. The score distribution above includes students who took Set 1 and Set 2 FRQs, but the following commentary focuses primarily on Set 1, since it was taken by the majority of AP European History students. spr.ly/60184uMyo AP European History SAQs: Students excelled on Q1 (women in 20th century Russia), where 21% of students earned all points possible. In contrast, students found Q2 (the Napoleonic Wars) most challenging. AP European History DBQ on the French Revolution's ideals: 83% earned the thesis point, 67% earned the contextualization point; 92% earned 1+ evidence point; 42% earned the outside evidence point, 38% earned the analysis and reasoning point. AP European History LEQs: in Set 1 and Set 2, students found Q3 far more challenging than Q2 and Q4, on which they excelled. spr.ly/60194uMyU All subjects’ AP score distributions for 2025 will be posted here when available: spr.ly/60114uMyS
