The 2018 AP Psychology exam scores: 5: 21.1%; 4: 26.3%; 3: 18.3%; 2: 14.5%; 1: 19.8%. This year’s student performance was the strongest it's been in years, with a solid increase in the percentage of 4s and 5s. Well done.
AP Psychology multiple-choice: students generally demonstrated a strong command of social & developmental psychology (as students did last year), and even the lowest-scoring topics, personality/motivation and emotion, had generally strong performance.
Right beyond their strength on social/dev psych topics, AP Psychology students generally demonstrated strong understanding of abnormal behavior; and learning/cognition.
AP Psychology students scored slightly less well on FRQ2 than FRQ1, which measured students’ ability to apply 7 different psychology concepts to the situation of someone facing nervousness and excitement about an opportunity: https://t.co/WbDBgrj5jl
