<p>I was wondering what to expect in terms of my chances for winning the grand prize of 5000 dollars assuming the following raw scores on the 8 exams:</p>
<p>Calc BC: 95 - 100
Biology: 135 - 140
CS AB: 85 - 90
Physics C Mechanics: 85 - 90
Physics C E and M: 80 - 85
Chemistry: 145 - 150
Environmental Science: 130 - 135
Statistics: 75 - 80</p>
<p>Isn't 150 a perfect score in chem? I highly doubt you could get a near perfect or perfect score on ANY AP test...not to be cruel.</p>
<p>Well, Mechanics is a joke after all that prep for the Physics Olympiad screening exam...so there's an 80+ right there</p>
<p>Chemistry is a joke after all that prep for USNCO (getting about 80% of the total points on practice tests)....so it's not out of the question.</p>
<p>Statistics is just a plain joke and that score range for Calc BC is an estimate of what I probably got last year (I left 2 blank on the MC and estimated I lost 7 - 10 points on the FRQ)</p>
<p>what, they use raw scores for that, are you serious, i never heard that before, i though only CB new them.</p>
<p>Yeah, I though they use SAT scores, etc. in case of a tie, not raw score.</p>
<p>No, they use composite raw scores in the events of a tie (straight from the site itself)</p>
<p>I am only estimating my raw scores for the first two tests, and the other 6 I will be taking this year.</p>
<p>what does it mean by raw score?</p>
<p>A raw score is a precise score that you get based on how many questions you answer correctly on the AP exam. Raw scores are then converted to the composite score, which is marked out of 5. Thus, two people with different raw scores can get the same composite score. In AP psychology, for example, someone with a raw score of 145/150 would get a 5, as would someone else with a raw score of 120/150.</p>
<p>how can I get this raw score?</p>
<p>You can't--College Board doesn't release that on the score report</p>
<p>How do I find my AP exam raw score ?</p>
