<p>i took the 2007 released ap world exam a few days ago, and got a 66 out of 70 multiple choice correct.
i have no worries about getting a bad grade on the dbq essay besides forgetting parts of the rubric, such as additional documents. if i remember the rubric, i feel confident i could get at least 8 out of 9
the other two essays concern me.... some essay questions i've looked at previously have freaked me out because i knew nothing about them, at least before i started studying for the exam. example: i had no idea there was an Indian Ocean trade until i started studying. i highly doubt im getting more than a 7 on the other two essays, unless its some insanely easy essay such as european imperialism.</p>
<p>so basically:
mc: 66/70
dbq: 8
ccot: 3-6
compare: 3-6</p>
<p>given those estimates for scores, do you think i could get a 5?</p>
<p>That is most likely a 5. Your MC score is well above the average, and your strong point is in DBQ. </p>
<p>My world teacher last year prepped us for the essays, but we all got caught in either the ccot or compare essay (forgot which) and we utterly failed that essay. Nonetheless, the curve was fairly leniant, so you shouldn’t worry too much.</p>
<p>If you’re not confident on your knowledge of material, check out the Princeton Review for World History. It’s an amazing reference.</p>
<p>Congratulations, you got a 5, assuming that the ccot and compare are both 3’s. And you still get a %, assuming that the ccot and compare are both 6’s. </p>
<p>Verify, if you wish.</p>
<p>AP World History</p>
<p>Raw Score (including -0.25 for each wrong answer) x 0.8571 =
DBQ Grade x 2.2222 =
Compare and Contrast Grade x 2.2222 =
Continuity/Change Over Time Grade x 2.2222 =
Add them all together without rounding till the end.</p>
<p>74-120 = 5
60-73 = 4
43-59 = 3
27-42 = 2
0-26 = 1</p>
<p>just to clarify
i only took the multiple choice section of the 2007 exam.</p>
<p>i have done in class dbqs, so i feel confident about them. plus, how hard can they get?</p>
<p>i have not taken any ccot/comparison essays under real conditions. which is why i predicted a low grade.</p>
<p>is that calculation reliable? I think i heard it’s from barron’s (which I don’t find too reliable anymore) and that the actual ap test is graded based on a curve.</p>
<p>i’m also now scared that my studying is slacking off a bit, though im still trying to outline sections of the princeton review book.</p>
