That’s what this meant, 15% of students who took APs might have got 5s (I don’t have a data) but not everyone took an AP. 15% of less than 1 is less than 15% of population. (That’s statistically inaccurate for percentages for various reasons, but you get my point).

That’s sort of what the access thing is getting at, but the definition here is “had the chance to get”

I think you thought it read
15.9 percent of the public school graduating class of 2009 [who] had access to an AP experience [received] a score of 3 or higher.

That statement is false as you pointed out, but the original isn’t.
