<p>Somebody probably already asked this, but does anyone know how to score the AP? I think you add up all the essay scores and multiply them by 3.05 or something. And the multiple choice is (questions correct) - (questions incorrect * .25) and then times some multiplier. Is that right?</p>
<p>What do you think I would get if I skipped 1 MC, got 6 wrong, and got a 6, 7, and 8 on my essays?</p>
<p>Moon_star, no, that error is insignificant and will not affect your score at all</p>
<p>moon_star… these readers have a few minutes to read your essay and are required to grade it immediately after reading it. they are not going to research how many foreclosed homes there were in the past week and find out that it wasn’t 340,000 and then go back and illegally change your score by deducting a point. remember, there are tons of essays to read…</p>
<p>“Free-response rk33? are you sure you took the right test?”</p>
<p>Well, The Analytical. My mind is still thinking history.</p>
<p>jrs1125 - that’s a five</p>
<p>jrs1125, that’s a 5 no matter what the curve is.</p>
<p>yeah rk33 i dont remember anything historical about essay #2</p>
<p>Nice! Thanks!</p>
<p>Our teacher gave us two released MCs as grades. I got the highest grade in the school on both. But then we took a full-length exam (optional, out-of-class) and I did horrible on the MC. Hoping for the best. I think I did fairly well on the MC on the actual exam today, and decently on the essays. Good luck to all.</p>
<p>My essays were 4, 3, and 4 pages long. I’m a slow writer :(</p>
<p>By the way, what would I get if I skipped 4 and got a few questions wrong (around 2-4) then got 6-8 on my essays? Is that borderline? Hoping for a 5</p>
<p>I just realized that when I cited the sources in the synthesis essay, I was so used to writing history dbq’s that I wrote (Doc A) or Document A instead of Source A…
hopefully this won’t subtract from my score, will it?</p>
<p>~2 pages not double spaced for each essay :\ </p>
<p>Did you guys double space? … I probably should have.</p>
<p>SouthKP: Nah, they know what you mean. AFAIK you’re allowed to even cite indirectly although it’s not recommended.</p>
<p>lol I almost did the same! (stinkin’ APUSH!)</p>
<p>double spacing an ap english essay? no</p>
<p>Yeah I wrote Document instead of source some of the time because of APUSH. I doubt it’ll do anything though–as long as they know what you’re referring to.
Yeah you should never double space on standardized tests.</p>
<p>NealJ2K: I thought we weren’t supposed to skip lines? I didn’t, just to be safe.</p>
<p>Do you guys suppose it might be possible to get a retest?</p>
<p>I know I didn’t do so well, but there were 2 administrative problems as well. The proctor did not give us any time warnings during the MC part. During Part II, the proctor kept walking around the room and hovering over people’s shoulders reading what the student wrote. I don’t know if this is a testing irregularity or not, but it definitely affected me psychologically–I don’t like people looking over my shoulders any time, and I definitely am not okay with it when its during something as important as an AP exam.</p>
<p>^ I know what you mean about the hovering shoulder thing. But I think that’s perfectly legal, although unfair. I also think they only have to tell you when to start and stop during MC.</p>
<p>what would I get if I ommitted 8 mcs and got around 5 wrong (or 4)
and like 8, 6, 5 on the essays?</p>
<p>oh. ohhhhhhh dear. for the synthesis, i took a very definitive side. i cant say too much now, but i basically developed one of two positions into a lot more controversial one- i mean, i proved it well enough, but if thats not what youre supposed to do…i did elaborate on all aspects of the prompt though…</p>
<p>Slimy that’s a five.</p>
