<p>I just took:
AP COMPUTER SCIENCE
AP WORLD HISTORY
AP STATISTICS
AP PSYCHOLOGY</p>
<p>I tried logging in to college board today, and it said I didn't have any scores on it. So I decided to proceed and call the representative. He told me the scores over the phone. However, Im highly skeptical of my scores and I dont understand my very poor performance.</p>
<p>I got a 2 in AP world, and I was very certain I got an 8 on the DBQ (Most l;likely scored at-least a 3 in the other essays) and got at least 40 or 50 MC right. This score doesn't match up with my mock tests I was doing in class and in home. I definitely expected something much higher...</p>
<p>In AP Statistics, I got a 3 when I knew for certain I got at-least 30 of the MC right and did very well on the open response. I was basically certain I was going to get a 5 in AP Stats, but this score is far from the predicted. </p>
<p>At this point, I'm seriously believing that college board messed up my scores. Are these unreasonably low scores by any metric?</p>
<p>I am in a similar situation, I got a 3 on AP Euro. I took two mock tests in the prior weeks and received a high 4 and a low 5. I felt like the essays I wrote on the actual test were better than I had ever written. The only explanation I can think of is that I messed up bubbling the multiple choice, or the readers could not read my handwriting.</p>
<p>I looked over at APPASS and looked at estimates of my FRQ scores(I also tried doing this as conservatively as possible).</p>
<p>The scores that I recieved from my AP STATS, AP COMPUTER SCIENCE, AP WORLD HISTORY could have been achieved without me getting a single Multiple Choice answer right, assuming that the FRQ scores I predicted were real :O. </p>
<p>Im going to go ahead and have my scores redone, and Im hoping its college boards fault :D</p>

<p>My Academia:</p>
<p>Im a rising junior with a 4.0 GPA, and ranked 1st in my school. Im taking 8 Ap classes next year, and I typically acquire the highest scores on all the tests in classes. IN addition, my current SAT score (practice tests) stands at 2100. I’m greatly confused and in despair about my scores.</p>
<p>@Repede, you are a fool. 2100 is an excellent score and puts OP among the highest percentiles in the country. Not everyone wastes his time to study for the SAT, let alone has the money and means to do so. If anything is inflated, it is your head. With air. A friend of mine got 1840 on the SAT, and was our school’s salutatorian. Not to mention that this person was an Intel finalist. He/she attends Harvard now. Where would he/she be if he/she had a 2400 SAT, and no science project that actually made a difference for someone, somewhere? Not Harvard, that’s for sure.</p>
<p>@OP, I believe that AP scores don’t actually play a significant role in admissions. Besides, you have all of junior year to raise your grades, take other AP tests, and take subject tests. Right now, few people are on the same academic level that you are in this country. Just accept things the way they are and enjoy your summer.</p>
<p>lol @ repede, son u just got told. Anyways your allowed to badly on ur first Ap test, i got a 3 on ap world, and have gotten 5’s ever since. It’s alright.</p>
<p>Just reflecting off of the post from @rep about my SAT score. I clearly stated that it was from a practice test and I have yet to officially take the official SAT. I was using the 2100 metric to show you that im relatively in the top 5% of the graduating class. Im also a rising junior, and I still have about 5 months to imoprove that score up to a higher level. I was just extremely surprised to receive these scores, and I don’t believe they accurately represent my knowledge of content in the areas. </p>
<p>For example, in AP World, my teacher is an official Essay Grader, and in all the class practice essays, I consistently scored a 6 or 7. In addition, in a mock exam earlier in school, I earned a 4 without any prior studying/practice,</p>
<p>In Stats, I felt extremely confident answering all the MC correctly. Without doubt, I know I got at least 30/40 right and did solidly on the FRQs.</p>
<p>For someone who clearly expected to receive 5s on these exams, seeing a 2 or a 3 can make one extremely depressed.</p>
<p>@Science2014 There’s no need to ever call someone names for something that sounds quite true. A 2100 is certainly good, but nowhere near the “top percentile” you claim it to be. I appreciate the example you provide, but it is a logical fallacy to use one rather out of context example to prove an already shaky point. Equating the time taken or type of work need (not level, but type) to conduct an excellent science project as opposed to what’s needed for an excellent SAT score is fundamentally wrong. With respect to OP, I also think I got low balled on AP Microeconomics.</p>
<p>If he was #1 out of 706 people, that would put him in the top 0.141%. Now, his class size could be smaller or bigger than that, but either way I guarantee it’s lower than 4%. That said, if you notice, his SAT score’s percentile does not correlate well with his class rank’s percentile.</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t believe GPA tells much about a student. Classes’ difficulties vary widely from each school so students are placed in different environments, so it is wrong to correlate it with SAT score. </p>
<p>That being said, 2100 is ok, but not as great as @science puts it. Actually I’m sort of confused of what point he’s trying to prove. He claims that SAT score isn’t everything because his friend got to harvard with a 1800, yet… thinks a 2100 is awesome? I don’t get what you’re really trying to say here o.O</p>
<p>Also, people aren’t “wasting” their time studying for the SAT. Standardized tests are unarguably beneficial to your college application; however, it is your personality and extracurricular activities that ultimately determine your acceptance to colleges. I honestly feel as if you’ve had a bad experience with standardized tests and you only use your friend as your only example. Your friend is one of the few students in the nation that was truly a genius to be able to win the Intel competition. But ultimately, look at the AP, ACT, and SAT score distributions… The vast majority of students at Harvard get 35-36, 5’s, and 2300-2400’s. It is ignorant to believe that there is no correlation between test-taking results and intelligence and acceptance into college.</p>
<p>The reason I said what I said was because @Repede was attempting to give OP no credit for his merits, claiming something was fishy because the OP has a 4.0 but “subpar” test scores. His statement is just false because a) scoring 2100/2400 is by no means subpar, for any ivy league school. No school in the US would reject an applicant SOLELY because they saw a 2100. That just shows that this score is good enough, and if one is truly a talented scholar then his talents will shine through in other ways. The example I gave isn’t the only time something like that has happened. In fact, I know a 1900 unhooked that got into Yale, and 1740 OOS that got into UVA and UNC-CH, a 2000 unhooked that got into UPenn, and an 1800 unhooked that got into Stanford</p>
