<p>I've been curious how many people manage to pull perfect scores on these AP tests. When I say perfect, I don't mean a 5. I mean gets-every-question-right perfect. I'm taking AP Calculus AB, Statistics, and Physics B this year. Calc is easily the easiest, and after taking a couple practice multiple choice tests and doing a number of old free responses, pulling a perfect score seems very doable. So, I was wondering if anyone had the information of exactly how many people actually get perfect scores on any AP tests, especially Calc AB.</p>
<p>No one knows what they get except for the number. You may feel that you get them all, get a 5 score, but miss a few. You’ll never know. Don’t assume you got 100% if you get a 5, because chances are, you didn’t.</p>
<p>I was told you can pay to have your raw scores sent with your general score report.</p>
<p>Is it physically impossible to find out what your raw score on any of the tests is?</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of any way to get your raw score</p>
<p>That’s so heartbreaking.</p>
<p>Really, it is.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about not finding out if you get a perfect score because chances are, you won’t</p>
<p>ElizabethHope, why do you care?</p>
<p>A 5 is a 5. You are taking an AP Test to show colleges that you deserve the AP credits (or to get into a good college). Colleges do not care whether you actually got a perfect, or just barely scored a 5.</p>
<p>If you’re taking the test to prove to yourself that you’re smarter than everyone else, take other, more competitive, standardized tests (AMC comes to mind…).</p>
<p>Indeed, you can’t pay to find out your raw score.</p>
<p>I do know that I had two students a few years back who were running through the in-class timed exams perfect and may very well have done so on the real thing, if it hadn’t been the year that they introduced the wrinkle on the separable differential equations where you had to cite the domain (I think this was 2005 or 2006?). The problem was, we as a class hadn’t talked that the domain can’t pass an area where the slope is undefined, and so both of my kiddos proudly wrote “x is not equal to 0” on their test. Of course, hardly anybody was talking about it at that point (as evidenced by the small number of people nationwide who earned that point), but it just goes to show that running through perfect requires more than just high intellectual savvy.</p>
