AP Human Geography 2009 Official Thread

<p>haha hopefully. i didn’t take the class either.</p>

<p>anyone know what it is?</p>

<p>it fluctuates every year but usually a composite score of a 70 is a 5.</p>

<p>this is the 2001 curve:</p>

<p>AP Human Geography</p>

<p>To get the weighted multiple choice score…</p>

<p>c = number correct of 75
i = number incorrect
s = weighted multiple choice score</p>

<p>[c - (1/4 x i)] x 0.8108 = s</p>

<p>To find the weighted essay scores…
Each essay question is worth 20 points, so depending on how many points each essay is worth, which fluctuates every year, you can determine each score.</p>

<p>For instance:
Essay Question 1: 3 points out of 9 possible points
Because it is out of 9 points, you multiply the points received (3), by 2.2222 (when multiplied by nine is approximately 20).
Weighted Score for Question 1: 6.6666 </p>

<p>Essay Question 2: 5 points out of 7 possible points
Because it is out of 7 points, you multiply the points received (5), by 2.8571 (when multiplied by 7 is approximately 20).
Weighted Score for Question 2: 14.2855 </p>

<p>Essay Question 3: 3 points out of 3 possible points
Because it is out of 3 points, you multiply the points received (3), by 6.6667 (when multiplied by 3 is approximately 20).
Weighted Score for Question 3: 20</p>

<p>To calculate your final score…
Simply add the weighted multiple choice score, to the weighted scores of each essay. For a 5, you need 70-120 points.</p>

<p>Can anyone give me a general idea of what is required to get a 3 on the AP Human exam. Also what are some responses people put on question 3 of the FR.?</p>
