<p>Usually, high grades but bad AP scores suggest grade inflation.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>3 possibilities:</p>
<ol>
<li>Major, major grade inflation + low state standards</li>
<li>You choked during the exam</li>
<li>CB screwed up your score and so you should consider rescoring.</li>
</ol>
<p>At my school we have the exact opposite happen. I know some kids who have gotten as low as a B- in an AP course that have gone on to receive 5s on the respective exam.</p>
<p>^Grade deflation happens then. It makes the B minuses not look as bad to admissions officers.</p>
<p>From my point of view, if you took the class and do not self report the score, it’d be taken negatively. It wouldn’t look as bad if you self studied for a test, did bad, and not report it.</p>
<p>Well, I know it wasn’t grade inflation because the tests were taken from old AP exams and they counted for 70% of our grade. So either I choked or Cb messed up. I was also thinking that since I skipped some questions in the beginning I might have messed up the numbers for the rest of the test?</p>
<p>^Send in a rescore request. Or, order your FRQ booklet, have your teacher grade it (if you think he/she is competent enough to do it), and go from there. If your FRQ score is high, rescore. If not, save yourself $25.</p>
<p>Either way, if you messed up bubbling during the test and shifted everything down/up one, there’s nothing you can do about it, fyi, FRQ’s once graded cannot be regraded.</p>
<p>Only time a rescore actually works is when the scantron messed up (highly unlikely) or they are missing one of your FRQ’s (somewhat more likely).</p>
<p>Well thank you for your answers. I’ve signed up for the Chem Subject Test so that I can prove it was just the one test that I messed up (hopefully!)</p>
