- The percentages are College Board's, rounded to whole numbers for 2026. “4 or higher” adds the rounded 5 and 4 figures, so it can be a point off.
- College Board hasn't published average scores for 2026 yet, so the last column is from 2025.
- Cybersecurity and Business with Personal Finance have no scores yet: the first exam is in May 2027.
Which exams do students pass most?
In 2026, the highest pass rates (a 3 or higher) were in Spanish Language (83%), Precalculus (82%) and Calculus BC (82%). The lowest were in Statistics (62%), Computer Science Principles (63%) and Calculus AB (65%).
The most 5s went to students in Calculus BC (46%), Precalculus (29%) and Computer Science A (25%). The fewest were in Computer Science Principles (10%), Environmental Science (13%), World History (14%) and US History (14%).
These numbers show how all students did, not how you'll do. They also depend on who takes each exam and how much they prepared, so an exam with a high pass rate isn't automatically easy. Each course's exam page explains what makes it hard.
How to read these numbers
- 3 or higher is what most people call passing, because it's where many colleges start to give credit. Each college sets its own rules, though. See how AP scores work.
- Exams change. Some exams have a new format for 2027, like Statistics, Spanish Language and the history exams, so their 2026 scores came from a slightly different test. The 2027 changes guide lists them.
- Want to know where you stand? Each course's score calculator turns your practice results into a rough estimate. Find it from the course's exam page in the table.
College Board's score distributions page also covers the exams this site doesn't, like the arts, world languages and AP Capstone.
