AP Statistics Practice Exam
The Clemson Advanced Placement Statistics Practice Exam is an annual outreach event hosted by the Clemson University School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. The event provides high school students with a free mock exam experience in preparation for the national administration of the AP Statistics exam. A new exam is collaboratively written each year by both experienced AP statistics teachers and statistics faculty from universities across the United States. The practice exam is scored on-site the day of the event, which allows students to walk out of the event with a projected AP score. The 2018 practice exam (PDF) and 2019 practice exam (PDF) are available for download.
The scoring of the practice exam is conducted as a “mini-reading”, modeled after the AP reading week, where the national AP exams are scored. Each AP teacher attending the practice exam is paired with an experienced AP grader during the scoring of the free-response questions, providing a tremendous professional development opportunity to the participating AP teachers.
For information on upcoming administrations of the practice exam, contact the current coordinator, Amy Cantrell.
