Can Claude look up 2026 AP score distributions?

Not the 2026 ones from memory. College Board posts the score distributions each summer after the May exams, and most models were trained before the 2026 release, so Claude may quote an older year without saying so. Connect the free AP Score Distributions server and Claude reads the 2024, 2025 and 2026 figures for each exam, compares exams and estimates a percentile for a score.
