It offers 40 courses (and growing!) with currently a question bank over 40,000 questions and 4,400 instructional videos. The data generated by AP Classroom has provided the AP Program with tremendous insight into how American students learn: what they know and can do, where they struggle, and what they need to succeed. Come join us in our mission to connect students to college success and opportunity.
