Advanced Placement Exams Participation and Performance: A National Study of Gender Differences

Abstract

Performance on Advanced Placement exams for the May 2007 and for the May 2011 administrations was analyzed to determine whether high school boys and girls scored differently. Statistical analysis of scores on AP exams, overall and then for the top 10 AP courses based on exam completion, yielded statistically significant differences between boys and girls. In almost all cases, boys had higher percentages of the top two AP exam scores, 4s and 5s, than did girls. Finally, the most difficult AP exams were identified for boys and for girls. With one exception, Government Politics U.S., the most difficult exams were different by gender. Of particular interest is the striking similarity of results for the 2007 and 2011 AP exams. Implications of these findings are discussed.
