<p>Do they get a detailed question by question report with supporting test-taker/student statistics? </p>
<p>I somehow remember my chem teacher saying how the average class score on this one frq question was 1.8...</p>
<p>Yea I also remember my Stats teacher had info on the average score for each FRQ section for all the students that took the test last year (but not individual students).</p>
<p>Teachers get an Instructional Planning Report with averages for the school’s population by content strand in quintiles. Usually by late October.</p>
<p>No student specific data and if your school has multiple teachers/sections the data is still just school population versus national population.</p>
<p>Teachers can know things like Happytown HS students averaged 2.3 on APWH FRQ 2 compared to 2.6 nationally with X% in each 1st, 2nd, etc. quintile.</p>
<p>Sorry, no details useful to individual test takers, just aggregates to direct instructional programs.</p>
<p>Not even if they’re the AP readers who help grade the tests?</p>
<p>Nope. </p>
<p>Readers are kept far from the MC and the statistical analysis. Sometimes some of the general averages, (that will be in the IPR), are shared with the readers. This happens much less than it had in the past. Data security is very tight.</p>
<p>I heard the only see how many of theior students got which grade…nopnames involved</p>
<p>@futureteacher: That’s the first report that comes in July, at about the same time your scores come in. And that list DOES have names on it.</p>
<p>There’s a second report, and it comes in around September (if you know to ask). I just so happen to have my AP Calculus AB report from the 2007-2008 school year at home, and it contains the following information:</p>
<p>Overall Grade Distributions: The number of students in your school, the percentage of students in your school, and the percentage of students nationwide who earned each of the scores from 1-5 (this last piece is available to anyone who wants it at AP Central).</p>
<p>Multiple Choice and Free Response Distributions: The number of students in your school and the percentage of students in your school who finished in each of the four quartiles (Top 25%, Second 25%, Third 25%, Bottom 25%). (Incidentally, it also has the nationwide percentage in each quartile, but that just so happens to be… well… 25%.)</p>
<p>Multiple Choice Breakdowns: Each of these topics come with a “# of questions, Global Mean, and Group Mean” as well as the same quartile distribution mentioned above.
- Differential Calculus
- Integral Calculus
- Part A - No Calculator**
- Part B - With Graphing Calculator
- Calculator Active Items (these are only the items in Part B that needed a calculator – on the 2008 test, that was 6 items)</p>
<p>** The interesting note about this section is that my score report for the 2008 exam lists only 27 questions for this section (not the 28 on the test). Not sure what that means.</p>
<p>Free Response Breakdowns: Each of the six questions also come with a “# of questions, Global Mean, and Group Mean” as well as the same quartile distributions mentioned above. The questions aren’t numbered 1-6, but just have topic names (i.e. 2008 AB6 was labeled “Analysis of Functions”).</p>
<p>Using these numbers, you can also conclude that the mean AP score (nationwide) in 2008 was 42.4 (22.3 on the MC – after the multiplier, and 20.1 on the FR).</p>
