For example, for the 2020 AP English Literature and Composition exam, students'only question was to respond to a work of prose fiction. For the 2020 AP US History exam, students' only question was to address one modified document-based question. For the 2020 AP Calculus AB exam, students answered two free response questions. Due to the shortened duration of the exams, the 2020 AP Calculus BC exam and AP Music Theory exam did not contain subscores. It is also important to note that in 2020, all AP exams were delivered digitally. Thus, students were tested at home.  \nSeveral AP exams underwent name changes from 2019 to 2020. However, their exam codes remained the same. To streamline the ease of comparison across years, group names were generated that combined AP exam names via their exam code. This business practice was applied to six exams:  \nExam Code 14: Drawing (2020) and Studio Art: Drawing Portfolio (2019) = Drawing  \nExam Code 15: 2-D Art and Design (2020) and Studio Art: 2-D Design Portfolio (2019) = 2-D Art and Design Exam Code 16: 3-D Art and Design (2020) and Studio Art: 3-D Design Portfolio (2019) = 3-D Art and Design  \nExam Code 57: United States Government and Politics (2020) and Government and Politics: U.S. (2019) = United States  \nGovernment and Politics  \nExam Code 87: Spanish Language and Culture (2020) and Spanish Language (2019) = Spanish Language and Culture  \nExam Code 93: World History: Modern (2020) and World History (2019) = World History: Modern  \n2  \nAdvanced Placement Tests Taken and Tests Passed (score of 3, 4 or 5), 2016-2020  \nAPS saw a decrease (-741) in the number of Advanced Placement (AP) exams administered in 2020. However, there was an increase (+334) in the number of AP exams passed.  \nNote: Beginning in 2019, prior-year data were refreshed to capture scores that were reported after College Board’s initial data file was delivered. Consequently, there are slight   \nchanges in previously-reported numbers. Given the differences in AP exam administration in SY2020, comparison to previous years should be made with caution. 3  \nCount of 2020 AP Tests Taken by School; Change in Test Count Compared to 2019  \nGrady administered the highest number of AP exams and displayed the largest increase (+220) in the number of AP exams administered in relation to 2019. KIPP displayed the largest decrease (-628) in the number of AP exams administered in relation to 2019. Despite the total number of AP tests administered district-wide decreasing, Grady and North Atlanta displayed substantial increases in the number of tests administered.  \nNote: This graph excludes 19 tests due to data entry errors indicating they were administered within middle schools. Given the differences in AP exam administration in SY2020,   \ncomparison to previous years should be made with caution. 4  \nAP Test Pass Rate, 2016-2020  \nFifty-two percent of AP tests taken in 2020 were passed (a score of 3, 4, or 5) . This is up 16 percentage points from the previous year.  \nNote: Given the differences in AP exam administration in SY2020, comparison to previous years should be made with caution.  \n5  \nPercent of Students Passing One or More Attempted AP Exams, 2016-2020  \nSome students take multiple AP exams. Fifty-four percent of individual students who took an AP exam passed at least one of them in 2020.  \nNote: Given the differences in AP exam administration in SY2020, comparison to previous years should be made with caution.  \n6  \nCounts of Students Taking 1+ AP Exam and Students Passing 1+ AP Exam, 2020  \nWhile students taking AP exams were spread out across the district, the majority of students passing AP exams  \nwere concentrated at a few schools.  \nNote: This graph excludes 19 stude","cbCaiiOOWurUHEYP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiOOWurUHEYP","pdf",627682,14,"English","# Background Information\n# Advanced Placement Tests Taken and Tests Passed (2016-2020)\n# Count of 2020 AP Tests Taken by School\n# AP Test Pass Rate (2016-2020)\n# Students Passing One or More Attempted AP Exams (2016-2020)\n# Counts of Students Taking/Passing 1+ AP Exam (2020)\n# AP Test Taker Rates by Race (2016-2020)\n# AP Test Pass Rates by Race/Ethnicity (2016-2020)\n# Test Counts and Pass Rates by Subject (2018-2020)","[{\"question\":\"What major changes affected AP exams in 2020?\",\"answer\":\"COVID-19 led to dropping the multiple-choice sections and using only free-response to test students.
