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.

[Kelly Gallagher @KellyGToGo]

A lot of hand wringing about reading loss going on, but it was my experience that many of my students had stopped reading books years ago. This was a curriculum problem and a teaching problem long before the pandemic.

[Mental Health America @MentalHealthAm]

Just because someone's experience with a mental health condition differs from your own doesn't mean they are wrong.

We're investing so that every AP student impacted by COVID-19 has the tools and connectivity they need to review AP content online and take the exam from home. Students (and teachers on their behalf) can request resources here.
