@classtechie Step one: vanish in a crowd. Step two: send a postcard from ‘somewhere sunny.’

First day and I’m already Googling ‘how to fake my own disappearance.’

@classtechie Maybe lol it was a random thought midway though reading “Winners Take All : The Elite Charade of Changing the World” by Anand Giridharadas

The 2025 AP Biology Exam scores:
5: 19%; 4: 24%; 3: 28%; 2: 21%; 1: 8%

This year’s data finds a very impressive showing among AP Biology students: the psychometric analyses found strong increases in content and skill mastery over 2024, such that the percentage of 5s increases from 16% to 19% and the overall rate of 3+ scores increases from 68% to 71%. This is all the more impressive when looking at how well educators expanded access to this course this year, with 26,000 more students participating than in 2024.

Multiple-Choice Questions

AP Biology students scored especially well on questions about Natural Selection (Unit 7), as well as Cellular Energetics (Unit 3). The most challenging topics were related to Heredity (Unit 5) and Gene Expression and Regulation (Unit 6).

Free-Response Questions

Students generally scored highest on Q2 on insect pheromones and gene expression. Students earning 3s were generally able to earn at least 5 of these points, and students earning 5s typically proved able to earn all or all but one of the points possible.

The most challenging part of this year’s exam was Q6, the analysis of data related to fruit fly mutations. Students earning AP 1s and 2s could typically only answer Part A of this question, which focused on measuring the abilities of the more advanced students in the class.
