AP Statistics: Coverage Map & Learning Gaps
2026–27 foundation pilot; editorial topic-level mapping, not official alignment certification
A partial map, not a completion score.
Five official units; topic numbers checked against the Fall 2026 CED course-at-a-glance and relevant unit pages. IDs here are local learning targets, not official learning-objective codes. A linked family is partial practice, never evidence of full topic mastery. Expansion adds 48 distinct tasks across data views/design, simulation, model/condition checks, contextual inference and diagnostics. OfficialTopics are topic references; local objective IDs are not official codes.
Mapping describes the available practice, not your mastery or readiness for the exam. Reviewed 2026-10-26.

- All 96 families are mapped but no syllabus coverage percentage is claimed.
- No objective is marked complete; missing content and missing cognitive demands are stated separately.
- Figures and self-assessed response extensions improve representation but are not complete 10-point official free-response simulations.
- Independent educator alignment review remains pending.
