Why are you revising AP Statistics?

We periodically update AP courses and exams to reflect new developments in their disciplines and more clearly communicate required content and skills.  

We’re revising AP Statistics to align with expectations of current introductory college statistics courses. The practices and skills for the course focus on student understanding of the statistical problem-solving process and are aligned with American Statistical Association recommendations. We also removed the second-year algebra prerequisite for AP Statistics to provide opportunities for students who possess sufficient mathematical maturity and quantitative reasoning ability to take the course earlier in their secondary school career.
