Course Updates for AP®/College Statistics in July 2021

Updated

We are excited to share that we've made significant enhancements to our AP®/College Statistics course. One consequence of adding this new content is that it may impact learners’ Mastery percentages.

When we add new content and remove old content, Mastery percentages often change because the number of available skills changes. For example, if you mastered 90 out of 100 skills in a course, and we added 10 new skills, your mastery skill count would then be 90 out of 110. This change would change your Mastery percentage from 90% to 82%.

With this specific course update, we expect that Mastery percentages will change by a maximum of 10%. Most people will see a much smaller Mastery percentage change.

You can see exactly what content items we’ve added and removed below. Happy learning!
