<p>One of my tests I found out I got a 3 on, which I thought I'd have either a high 3 or low 4, based on practice tests. Anyone here ever have an AP test rescored and come out with a different score? Is it worth the $25 for a rescore? It's for AP English Lit btw.</p>
<p>I haven’t personally but I think one or two people in my AP spanish class last year had their tests rescored and went from a 2 to a 3, so it’s possible!</p>
<p>Last year after taking World History AP, I literally knew 95% of MC, and nailed the essays… I was SO sure I got a 5. You can only imagine my face when I got my score report back and saw a 2… I got re-scored and it ended up being a huge mistake and I got my 5 
It happens.</p>
<p>@jd989898- How long did it take to get that information back from CB? I’m going to college this fall and wondering if I’d get it back in time for orientation, which starts August 16th and we register for classes on the 18th.</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>I remember it took somewhere around 3-4 weeks</p>
<p>I would warn you though, you might be wasting your money. When they rescore, they only rescore the MC and not the free response. They might realize that they forgot to count the free response or misplaced it, but that’s rare. If you got a 3 with only your MC being scored (or scored erroneously due to a bubbling error), that means (for most tests at least and especially for lit in which the MC is only 45% of the overall score) that you got ALL or close to all of the MC right for you to get that score. It’s much more likely that you just didn’t perform as well as you thought. You should still do it if you want to, but maybe more for peace of mind than anything else.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s why I’m hesitating to do it. It could very well come out as a 3 again. I knew it was possible to get a 3 or 4, and I think I was really on the edge between those 2, so I’m not surprised that I got a 3, but at the same time, it could have just as likely been a 4, if you get what I mean.</p>
<p>Last year, I considered having a rescore on APUSH. I got a 4, but was so sure I had a 5. I must have been really close. I never had a rescore done though.</p>
<p>Don’t you get a refund if your score increases?</p>
<p>^That’s only for the SAT and Subject Tests.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You thought you would score a 3 or a “low 4” on the test and you got a 3. I don’t see the problem.</p>
<p>^I MAY have gotten a 4, it’s possible.</p>
<p>You should only rescore if you get WAY lower than you had expected… e.g. at least 2 levels below what you had gotten in all your practice tests. Otherwise you are just wasting your money.</p>
<p>Yeah, I know it’s not WAY lower, but a 4 would get me credit at my college, and a 3 doesn’t so it sorta makes a big difference to me.</p>
<p>^
It’s certainly possible. Adding 30 points to getting 1/2 FRQ (20 points) credit would probably give you a 4.</p>

<p>^ They don’t rescore the FRQ. Only the MC.</p>
<p>I received my AP scores today in the mail, and I was extremely surprised that I received a 4 for APEL (English Lang), since I go to a very good high school and I had the highest grade in my class when I took APEL–I always received 8s and 9s on my essays in school and when I took practice tests I would usually only miss 3-4 questions. Is there a possibility that there was a mistake (even though 4 is pretty close to 5)?</p>
<p>^ where are you that you got scores by mail?</p>
<p>Other threads say no one has scores by mail. yet. That’s probably a lie/■■■■■^^</p>
<p>^ Someone posted that parts of San Diego had received them today.</p>
