AP DSC 2025 Final Key Errors: Candidates Raise Concerns Over Mistakes in SGT, SA Physical Education, and PGT Papers

Initially, the DSC exam section released the preliminary key and invited objections with valid proof through the official website. However, candidates say that their objections were either ignored or incorrectly addressed, with even correct answers being altered in the final version. Many expressed concern that “even half a mark can decide our careers.”
