<p>Anyone? I really need some help</p>
<p>Can anyone help?</p>
<p>Wow i am freaking out right now about this test. The thing is, I’m supposedly a “native speaker” but I was born here and grew up speaking English and I almost can’t speak any Chinese at all and I’m taking it in 3 weeks. I’m going to end up with a 1…because there’s almost no curve with all these fluent Chinese kids getting hundred percents on the tests.
And for the Barrons book, do we have to know the 40 so pages of culture at the end? because I have no idea what its even saying…</p>
<p>Ahhh i am so screwed!!</p>
<p>Can anyone answer any questions on post #19 please?</p>

<p>Usually, Barrons is harder than the actual AP exam.</p>
<p>Ok, but how do I grade the practice test? And it’s USUALLY, not always</p>
<p>You need to let this go… Seriously… Look at that released MC and you can compare the difficulty for yourself…</p>
<p><a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board;
<p>Scroll to page 15 to see score threshold for each AP score on a 120 point scale. Scroll to page 5 to see the weight of each section.</p>
<p>From there, you should be able to estimate. Welcome to google!</p>
<p>How do you get that 120 point scale from a Barrons practice test? How do you calculate the raw score?</p>
<p>Help please?</p>
<p>… its just a 120 point scale… assuming you’ve passed 7th grade algebra you should be able to do a simple ratio… Ex 45/70 = x/120</p>
<p>Obviously MC isn’t the entire test so you can’t use just MC to predict your score, but it’s a start.</p>
<p>Anyways you should really stop bumping this and just prepare to take the test. Knowing the curve will NOT make you score better. As I have said.</p>
<p>What I’m trying to do is know how to grade the whole test with section II since I have scores. I know it has something to do with finding the raw score but how do you do that for section II of the practice test? How do you find the raw score of section II?</p>
<p>What are you even saying… You really need to let this go… </p>
<p>If the minimum composite score is an 81/120 for a 5, you can assume it requires a 67.5% on each section… Aka 67.5% MC questions correct, assuming you can score a at a 67.5% level on all other sections… Your best bet is to base it on the practice AP test I linked, not your Barrons test, which will not correlate in the same way…</p>
<p>Writing section is out of 6 levels each one, so I need a 5/6 at least?</p>
<p>And the speaking section?</p>
<p>Just do the best you can. You don’t have to know the minimum effort required to do well.</p>
<p>Can someone just type in the formula for calculating the score?</p>
<p>With section I and II</p>
<p>And it’s 6 levels possible for section II</p>
<p>For the third time. Just do a ratios. For everything. The link I provided shows the value of each section.</p>
<p>Percent correct on Interpersonal listening x .1
Percent correct on Interpretive listening x .15
Percent correct on Interpretive reading x .25
Percent correct on Presentational writing x …15</p>
<p>…and so on…</p>
<p>Add them up. Multiply this percentage by 120 to get your “raw score”.</p>
<p>For a rougher score you can do sectionI x .5 plus sectionII times .5 and multiply by 120.</p>
<p>It’s nearly impossible to predict your actual score given the lack of data available from the Chinese exam and the fact you’re using a Barrons test. You really need to let this go and just try your best. For the THIRD time, knowing your predicted score from this stupid Barrons test is going to have ZERO influence on how will you perform on exam day… 87% of non-native speakers score above a 3+…</p>
