Participation: The exam was written by 78 students, although 82 had registered and paid the non-refundable fee.
Summary: Of the 78 students who submitted a paper, 52 earned a score of 50% or better. In other words, 67% of the participants passed the test and are eligible to claim credit at a sponsoring university. The median grade was 66%. (These scores reflect a modest upward scaling.)
Scores of 90% or higher were earned by 10 students; scores below 30% were recorded by 8 students. There was a two-way tie for the top score of 95%.

Details: For each question, the following table shows the scores that separate the participants into four equally-sized groups. The median score divides the group in half; quartiles 1 and 3 bisect the lower and upper halves again. Scores are reported using percentages instead of individual points to make comparisons easier.

| Q1 ([anti-]derivatives) | 10 | 60 | 80 | 90 |
| Q2 (limits) | 9 | 56 | 67 | 67 |
| Q3 (implicit diff) | 10 | 40 | 70 | 90 |
| Q4 (linear approx) | 5 | 40 | 40 | 100 |
| Q5 (exp decay) | 5 | 0 | 100 | 100 |
| Q6 (tangent lines) | 8 | 13 | 25 | 63 |
| Q7 (def of deriv) | 8 | 50 | 63 | 75 |
| Q8 (combo) | 6 | 0 | 17 | 17 |
| Q9 (given accel) | 6 | 50 | 100 | 100 |
| Q10 (related rates) | 8 | 13 | 63 | 63 |
