## What AP Statistics covers

Students learn to explore data, collect data, use probability, and make statistical inferences. They develop skills in selecting methods, analyzing results, and communicating conclusions in context.

AP Statistics is a College Board course on exploring and collecting data, probability and random variables, inference for proportions and means, and regression analysis.

### Unit 1: Exploring One-Variable Data and Collecting Data (20–30%)

Topics: Introducing Statistics: What Can We Learn from Data?; Variables; Tabular Representation and Summary Statistics for One Categorical Variable; Graphical Representations for One Categorical Variable; Graphical Representations for One Quantitative Variable; Descriptions for One Quantitative Variable Distributions; Summary Statistics for One Quantitative Variable; Graphical Representations of Summary Statistics for One Quantitative Variable; Comparisons of the Distributions for One Quantitative Variable; The Investigative Question Revisited and Data Collection; Random Sampling; Potential Problems with Sampling; Experimental Design.

### Unit 2: Probability, Random Variables, and Probability Distributions (15–25%)

Topics: Tabular and Graphical Representations for the Distributions of Two Categorical Variables; Summary Statistics for Two Categorical Variables; Estimating Probabilities Using Simulation; Introduction to Probability; Mutually Exclusive Events; Conditional Probability; Independent Events and Unions of Events; Introduction to Random Variables and Probability Distributions; Parameters of Random Variables; The Binomial Distribution; The Normal Distribution; Sampling Distributions and the Central Limit Theorem.

### Unit 3: Inference for Categorical Data: Proportions (15–25%)

### Unit 4: Inference for Quantitative Data: Means (10–20%)

Topics: Graphical Representations Between Two Quantitative Variables; Correlation; Linear Regression Models; Residuals; Least-Squares Regression.

## A class in AP Statistics, opened

Every class works like this. The tutor asks, you answer in your own words, and it reads what you wrote while you are still in the room, then tells you what is missing and asks you to try again.

A class, opened. A sample written to show how a class sounds (not a real learner); the scores show how the exam would credit each answer.

> **Inference · Interpreting a confidence interval.** Question: A 95% confidence interval for the mean wait time is 12 to 18 minutes. What does “95% confident” mean?
> The student wrote: There is a 95% chance the true mean is between 12 and 18. (the exam would credit 1 of 2)
> The tutor: Is the true mean a fixed number, or does it change from sample to sample? The 95% belongs to the method that built the interval, not to this one interval.
> The student then wrote: We are 95% confident that the interval from 12 to 18 minutes captures the true mean wait time. (the exam would credit 2 of 2)

## How the AP Statistics exam is built

The 2027 exam is on Tuesday, May 11, in the afternoon session, and it is taken fully on a device. It has 42 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes and 4 free-response questions of 10 points each in 90 minutes, each section worth half of the score. A graphing calculator with statistical capabilities is expected, and formulas and tables are provided.

| Exam section | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Multiple choice | 42 questions · 90 min · 50% of the score; Calculator |
| Free response | 4 questions · 90 min · 50% of the score; Calculator |

## How students score on AP Statistics

How students scored in 2026 (share of students at each AP score):

| Score | Share of students |
| --- | --- |
| 5 | 17% |
| 4 | 23% |
| 3 | 22% |
| 2 | 17% |
| 1 | 21% |

The share of students scoring 3 or higher on AP Statistics was 57.9% in 2021 and 62% in 2026. The College Board reviews each exam's score standards every five to ten years, so a change from one year to the next can reflect a new standard as well as how students did. AP pass rates for every exam shows the whole table.

| Year | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 3 or higher | Students | Mean score |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026 | 17% | 23% | 22% | 17% | 21% | 62% | n/a | n/a |
| 2025 | 17.0% | 21.4% | 21.9% | 15.9% | 23.7% | 60.3% | 266,791 | 2.92 |
| 2024 | 17.5% | 21.8% | 22.5% | 15.9% | 22.3% | 61.8% | 252,914 | 2.96 |

## How long does AP Statistics take?

Every level covers the whole syllabus. A deeper level only adds classes, so you can go deeper later and keep everything you have done. Hours are hours of teaching, counted in classes of 45 or 60 minutes.

| Level | Hours | Classes of 45 min |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Short | 5 | 7 |
| Standard | 25.5 | 34 |
| In depth | 38.2 | 51 |
| Extended | 50.5 | 68 |
| Full syllabus | 53.2 | 71 |
