AP Research Performance Tasks

We've received feedback from AP teachers that making several decades of old exam materials available on AP Central limits their usefulness in class—especially when students can find and share answers online. Accordingly, now that such questions are available for teacher use on AP Classroom, we'll only maintain the most recent three years of exam materials on AP Central.

This update ensures that AP teachers retain the flexibility to use these valuable resources as intended—to build skills, assess progress, and prepare students with integrity.

Changes will be made starting summer 2025. Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to AP students.
