<p>What is it?
Like how much of raw score of MC counts toward your grade + how much essays count towards your raw score..then
what's the scale for 1-5?</p>
<p>This was posted by HereToSucceed92 on another World history thread...</p>
<p>Multiple Choice</p>
<p>(# correct - .25 * # incorrect) * .869</p>
<p>Essays</p>
<p>DBQ: # out of 9 * 2.2222
Compare/Contrast: # out of 9 * 2.2222
Change over Time: # out of 9 * 2.2222</p>
<p>Add up the four numbers (DO NOT ROUND UNTIL YOU HAVE ADDED THEM ALL UP) and round to the nearest whole number.</p>
<p>78-108 -- 5
62-77 -- 4
43-61 -- 3
27-42 -- 2
0-26 -- 1</p>
<p>Here are my calculations, according to that...</p>
<p>45 right, 20 wrong.</p>
<p>8/9 on any essay
6/9 on any essay
5/9 on any essay</p>
<p>... can still give you a 5.</p>
<p>Powerbomb, are you sure? because according to Travard's calculations, it seems to be really easy to get a 5 on the AP World test.</p>
<p>I bought the 2007 AP World History Exam and the calculations are a little bit different. Not sure what the other year's score was. Of course, this year's curve will be a little bit different, but fairly similar to last years. Here is last years:</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>No use worrying about that now..</p>
<p>Freaking a, didn't do any last minute studying at all. This will all be over tomorrow</p>
<p>im worried</p>
<p>How difficult was the exam?</p>
<p>About to take it in an hour.</p>
<p>Should get to school...</p>
<p>agentunderfire38's scale should be the correct one. First of all, 6/7 is .8571, not .869. Secondly, the composite score should be a max of 120, not 108.</p>
<p>I hope the curve is near the one from 2007 ;)</p>
<p>can someone verify agentunderfire38's grading scale? I thought that you had to have somewhere near 80 raw points to make a 3. Maybe I'm just crazy, but that's what my teacher told me.</p>
<p>I'm the one who posted the curve that said 78-108 is a 5. My mistake (I confused world history with calculus). Multiplying the MC score by .869 is what my teacher told us to do when we self calculated our scores on an in class exam. I'm not sure what year it was, but the DBQ was on Christian and Islamic attitude toward trade.</p>
<p>Edit: @ cosine, 80/120 is a low 5. Believe me, if 75% was only a three on an AP, we would all die.</p>
<p>lol ya ur teacher is scaring u...</p>
<p>Mine is actually wrong and agentunderfire is right.</p>
<p>If you answered all 70 questions and get them right, then that would be 70 x .8571. Pluss a 9 on each essay would be 3(9x2.2222). Which would be a max of 120. Sorry for the confusion.</p>
<p>wow so you just need like 35/70, 6/6/2 to get a 4 goddamn I definitely did better than that unless they mess up reading my essays or something cause based on my own judgment i got at least 42/70, 7/6/3 which is almost a 5 according to agentunderfire's stated formula. If they're nice and i get extended core plus there's a curve that would most likely be 5. :)</p>
<p>i better not have messed up on the essays...i probably did though for the compare contrast one.</p>
<p>Do they included those questions that u ommitted in their calculations (I don't think they do but I want to be sure.)</p>
<p>Assuming they don't count those, I think I got a 48/63, a 7 on the DBQ, and a 5 on both the other essays, that comes to a 5. Jeez. That was unexpected.</p>
<p>Wow, this curve is extremely generous. I will probably get a 5, even if I only got a 1 on my comparative (which is a good possibility)!</p>
<p>^Haha, getting a 2 on COT, and a 4 on the comparative, is a huge possibility to me. I wrote two pages of serious bs and drew a map >.< I did have a thesis though.</p>
<p>i thought they disqualify essays with drawing....</p>
