AP Exams are given each year in May. Students who earn a qualifying score on an AP Exam are typically eligible, in college, to receive credit, placement into advanced courses, or both. Every aspect of AP course and exam development is the result of collaboration between AP teachers and college faculty. They work together to develop AP courses and exams, set scoring standards, and score the exams. College faculty review every AP teacher’s course syllabus. We commit to support educators and communities in their efforts to make AP courses widely available, advancing students in their plans for college and careers.  \nCourse and Exam Description Clarifications and Corrections  \nImplemented as of October 2025  \n§ In the Course and Exam Description front matter, the “About AP” section was updated to include career preparation alongside college preparation as anchors oftheAP Program.

Describe one way the researchers in the study applied this ethical guideline.”(p. 159)  \n◆ For the AAQ, the source summary will include several ethical guidelines descriptions. Students must choose one of them to identify and describe accurately to earn the point.  \n◆ TheAAQ Scoring Guidelines for part D (pp. 169-172) reflect updated rubrics and examples to support the new approach to part D.  \n§ The Scoring Guidelines for the Evidence-Based Question (EBQ; pp. 174-178) has been updated to reflect scoring practices from the AP Reading:  \n◆ In parts B(i) and C(i), the word “accurate” and an additional note about how accurate evidence isoperationalized are added to provide clarity.  \n◆ In parts B(ii) and C(ii), the additional note about the use of a psychological perspective, theory, concept, or research finding is clarified.  \nForthcoming  \n§ Many resources currently linked in the “Available Resources” callouts in the Course and Exam Description (CED) have been moved from AP Central toAP Classroom orthe Online Teacher Community with some older, non-aligned resources removed. The URLs in the CEDs point toAP Central and are thus inoperable.
