AP® Statistics Mock Exam-Teacher and Student Event-2026
NOTE: OFFICIAL REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED. Please contact Laura Ziegler (lziegler@iastate.edu) if you are still interested in participating so we can discuss options.
The 2026 AP® Statistics Mock Exam Teacher and Student Event is scheduled on Wednesday, April 22nd.
For more information:
This event is a free opportunity available to students and teachers. The students complete the mock exam, which is collaboratively written by experienced AP® Statistics Exam Leaders and Readers (i.e., scorers), and receive a score on a 5-point scale. A “mini-reading” occurs on-site the day of the event. Teachers learn how the exams are graded, are trained to grade a free-response question, and work in pairs to grade the questions on the mock exam. Teachers have permission to use the mock exam questions in their classes in future years.
All AP® Statistics students and all high school statistics teachers are welcome to join us.
Scholarship
Students scoring in the top 20% on the AP® Statistics Mock Exam will be entered into a random drawing for a $500 scholarship to Iowa State University as a Statistics Major.
