For my second AP US history essay on the exam, I circled the wrong prompt number at the top of each page that did not correspond to the topic I wrote on. However, I did use the correct barcode of the prompt I wrote on. Will an AP scorer grade me based on the prompt number I circled and consequently give me a 0 for being off topic? Will they just grade it as the prompt I meant due to the greater context?
I think because that you put the correct label on the paper, your essay will go to the correct grader, and from there he/she (depending on their leniency) will grade it regardless of what is circled.
