20% of students earned perfect scores on the Ecology MC questions. AP Biology students’ strongest unit, by far, was Unit 8, Ecology, followed by Unit 7, Natural Selection.One likely reason the AP Bio students show stronger mastery of college bio than college students themselves: the study found that on average, AP Bio students had 176% more instruction time (full year, daily) & 38% more lab time than college bio students (1 semester, 2-3 days/wk).A larger segment of the AP population outperformed the college population, hence the score increase. This year was AP Biology’s scheduled college comparability study, in which college students from across the nation also take the AP Bio Exam at the end of their college class. I’ve become convinced that this course is the single best AP entry point for a wide range of students. (part 2 of 2): An incredible 86% of 10th graders who take AP Seminar earn scores of 3+, and then have significant academic gains in the rest of high school.Schools have done something with AP Seminar far wiser than we originally intended: many now use it as 10th grade English to make it widely available by also fulfilling a requirement for high school graduation the results prove these schools were right to do so.(part 1 of 2).We’ll notify them and their schools in mid-September when all late exam scoring is complete.
