The 2026 AP Human Geography Exam scores:
5: 19%; 4: 26%; 3: 21%; 2: 24%; 1: 10%

The 2026 AP Human Geography exam was taken by ~300,000 students, about 2% of the U.S. high school population.

AP Human Geography Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ):

Students did exceptionally well on questions requiring Data Analysis skills. Students achieving AP 5s typically answered 100% correctly; students achieving AP 4s got more than 90% right; and students earning AP 3s earned more than 80% of these points. It’s exciting to see the success students are achieving when interpreting quantitative and visual geographic data.

Students also performed very well on questions related to Unit 7: Industrial and Economic Development Patterns and Processes, demonstrating command of geography concepts that underpin real-world decisions about where industries locate and how development spreads.

The most challenging MCQs focused on Unit 4: Political Patterns and Processes, 22% of students answered all or all but one of these questions correctly.

AP Human Geography Free-Response Questions (FRQ):
https://t.co/Oz7r4IGeim

Taken together, Q1, Q2, and Q3 span population geography, agricultural practices, and cultural landscape analysis, inviting students to demonstrate command of a variety of geography concepts and skills during 75 minutes of analyzing, describing, and explaining.

Since AP scores are reported on a 5-point scale, the free-response questions deliberately include some very difficult points, designed to differentiate AP 5s from AP 4s, points of varying difficulty levels to differentiate AP 4s, 3s, and 2s, and more foundational points to separate AP 2s from AP 1s.

FRQ #1: Demographic Changes

This question required students to analyze demographic and political processes, including migration, population policy, technological change, and centrifugal forces.

Parts A, C, and D were entry-level points. These points were earned by 80%, 80%, and 92% of this year’s students, respectively.

Parts B and G were moderately difficult. These points were earned by 66% and 45% of students, respectively.

Parts E and F were the most challenging parts of this FRQ. These points were earned by 28% and 34% of students, respectively.

FRQ #2: Agricultural Trade

Point D of this question, earned by 21% of students, was the single hardest point across all three FRQs, requiring students to express their understanding of commodity dependence.

FRQ #3: Cultural Landscape

Part C and Part G were earned by 71% and 66% of students, respectively. These points demonstrated that higher performing students were consistently able to explain the patterns within the source maps.

All subjects’ AP score distributions for 2026 will be posted here when available: https://t.co/OrkaQhPZYO.

@gimkit Would it be possible to down the road get this turned into a setting before the game? Something like the timer, or how much energy you get? This way teachers have options. Allowing competitive classes to go with tasks and casual ones to do time

Way to go everyone!

Kudos to AP Human Geography teachers and students, who demonstrated stronger content mastery in the multiple-choice section than any other cohort.

[Mr. Sinn @MrSinn_Channel]

@gimkit Any chance of adding a couple extra features to the mode? My students loved it. But they thought the mode would be a lot more fun if you could purchase ladders to climb out of the mine, or if there was teleports randomly located in the mine to find.

[Mr. Sinn @MrSinn_Channel]

Hey teachers! If you are at the AP Annual Conference today stop by the exhibit hall between 2-4 or 5-6. I will be at the Ultimate Review Packet booth!

@LiamShort21 @noodlesx6 Congratulations! That is fantastic!

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2023 AP Human Geography scores: 5: 16%; 4: 20%; 3: 18%; 2: 14%; 1: 32%. Very inspiring work here by these teachers, who expanded access to 27,000 more students . . . and achieved the highest scores yet posted for this subject!

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2023 AP Psychology scores: 5: 17%; 4: 23%; 3: 20%; 2: 12%; 1: 28%. Kudos to AP Psychology teachers and students: psychometric equating shows that learning outcomes were stronger this year, so scores went up, even as 27,000 more students were given seats at this table.

So… I just mailed my book for consideration in the Eisner Awards. I never thought I’d write a book. Certainly never thought I’d submit for an Eisner. No matter what, I am proud of myself.
