Infographic: Key Stats from the 2019 AP Exam Test Results

Sharon McCutcheon/Unsplash

Last year, 1.2 million US public high school graduates took at least one AP test, and this year that number is expected to grow even higher, although the tests will be administered a bit differently than in the past. As most test-takers are now aware, AP exams will be administered remotely next month, creating a very different testing environment than they've experienced during previous AP exam seasons.


If you're looking for some insight into last year's AP test performance, check out the following infographic we've put together. All stats here are from College Board's latest report.
