Ok, that’s a wrap – all of the 2026 AP Exam results have been posted. Special thanks to my colleagues Priscyla and Karlie, who helped with the drafting, proofreading, and posting, as we’ve expanded the amount of commentary from ~40 pages to ~110 this year. Big thanks as well to the dozens of AP course experts who, after the fatigue of weeks of AP Readings, also provided help reviewing and improving the descriptions of the exam questions, as I’m (obviously) not a content expert across all 40+ subjects. AP teachers, AP students: wishing you a restful and joyful summer break, and an extra note of gratitude to the 30,000 AP teachers and professors who scored more than 20 million essays and free-response questions these past few weeks. Looking ahead . . . Here’s a reminder of when and how STUDENTS can view their scores on July 6: apstudents.collegeboard.org/… And here’s a reminder of when and how EDUCATORS can view scores on July 6: scores.collegeboard.org/

We surveyed AP students worldwide and asked for their perspectives on their AP teachers. Unsurprisingly, AP teachers received sky-high ratings from most students. One of the survey questions asked students to rate the degree to which they felt supported by their teachers when encountering learning challenges or instructional needs. Of all AP subjects, AP Art and Design teachers received the highest ratings on this question of supporting students when encountering learning challenges and needs. Other subjects that received especially high ratings by students for the supportiveness of their teachers: African American Studies; AP Calculus; AP European History; AP Latin; AP Research; AP Spanish Literature.
