Hey AP students! Your AP Scores are out!

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2025 AP World History: Modern Exam scores:
5: 14%; 4: 33%; 3: 17%; 2: 27%; 1: 9%

Multiple-Choice Questions:

Students performed very well across all 9 units, but two units in particular stood out, those focused on 1750-1900 CE: Unit 5 (Revolutions) and Unit 6 (Consequences of Industrialization). 51% of students earned most or all of the points on these questions.

Students scored least well on questions focused on 1450-1750 CE: Unit 3 (Land-Based Empires) and 4 (Transoceanic Interconnections). 41% of students earned most or all of the points on these questions.

Free-Response Questions:

The following commentary on Free Response Questions (FRQ) focuses on FRQ Set 1, which was the version taken by most AP World History students. https://t.co/5f3Eaaf8Nv

AP World History students demonstrated strong knowledge and skills on Short Answer #1, where they analyzed the effect of the discovery of the Americas on Africa. 52% of students earned all points possible on this question.

The most difficult question on this year’s AP World History Exam was Short Answer #4 , about factors that contributed to the outbreak of revolutions between 1750 CE to 1900 CE; 30% of students achieved all available points on this task.

Students showed stronger performance on this year's Document-Based Question than in recent years, and that’s true of the DBQ in Set 2 as well.

In this year's DBQ, students evaluated the impact of new transportation and/or communication technologies on African societies from 1850 CE to 1960 CE:

80% of students earned the thesis point
54% earned the contextualization point
71% earned both evidence from the documents points
19% earned the evidence beyond the documents point
29% earned the analysis and reasoning: sourcing point
17% earned the analysis and reasoning: complexity point

The highest scoring Long Essay was Question 2, which prompted students to write about the extent to which Buddhism, Hinduism, and/or Confucianism influenced Asian societies and political systems between 1200 CE and 1450 CE. 30% of students received 5+ of the 6 possible points on this task, a job well done.

FRQ Set 2 can be found here: https://t.co/lDicToVMwv

All subjects’ AP score distributions for 2025 will be posted here when available: https://t.co/5QOJ6FYVlU

@HistoryExtra I would love an episode which outlines chronologically its establishment, conflicts, and ultimate separation that I could play in for my AP European History students!

[Trevor Packer @AP_Trevor]

The 2025 AP European History Exam scores:
5: 13%; 4: 35%; 3: 24%; 2: 19%; 1: 9%

AP European History MCQs: strong performance on Unit 1: Renaissance and Exploration, and Unit 2: Age of Reformation (c. 1450- c. 1648); 39% of students earned all or nearly all points in these areas.

The most challenging MCQs for AP European History students were questions on Unit 8: 20th Century Global Conflicts, and Unit 9: Cold War and Contemporary Europe (c. 1914 - Present); 32% of students earned all or nearly all points.

The score distribution above includes students who took Set 1 and Set 2 FRQs, but the following commentary focuses primarily on Set 1, since it was taken by the majority of AP European History students. https://t.co/IoZnVmAvoE

AP European History SAQs: Students excelled on Q1 (women in 20th century Russia), where 21% of students earned all points possible. In contrast, students found Q2 (the Napoleonic Wars) most challenging.

AP European History DBQ on the French Revolution's ideals: 83% earned the thesis point, 67% earned the contextualization point; 92% earned 1+ evidence point; 42% earned the outside evidence point, 38% earned the analysis and reasoning point.

AP European History LEQs: in Set 1 and Set 2, students found Q3 far more challenging than Q2 and Q4, on which they excelled. https://t.co/FJuJ3kg8Ck
