The 2018 AP English Language & Composition scores: 5: 10.6%; 4: 17.8%; 3: 29%; 2: 29.3%; 1: 13.3%. The knowledge/skills measured by this exam have a very strong relationship to overall college success, so it’s great to see significant increases in 3,4,5s compared to last year.

1 student, out of nearly 600,000 worldwide, achieved all 150/150 points possible on this year’s AP English Language exam. I can’t wait to read her/his essays; a student able to write a suite of perfect arguments within such time constraints sounds like the next Woolf or MLK.

@BetsyDeVosED Clearly...I was educated in classrooms that had various structures, but standardized testing and data wasn’t the chain forging beast it is today. When will we transcend standardized testing? When emphasis is taken off of that then we can teach the STUDENTS, not the TEST.

@realDonaldTrump What are your thoughts on gun control after the 29th mass shooting in 2018 and we are only 45 days into the year? 17 students are dead. Thoughts and prayers are empty. It’s inaction. #standup #takeaction #doyourjob
