<p>I still like calc BC curve better.</p>
<p>There should just be thousands of zombies who take the test and bomb it so that all of us can get 5's.</p>
<p>u screwed up the 8th question badly. I wasnt aware i hap a periodic table so im there doing 1S^2 and then i screw up since i end in like 6f^14 so everything is wrong. But all the other questions i nailed still a 4 or 5</p>
<p>sounds good, jon</p>
<p>yeah, at least 25-30% of ppl who take the test have no idea what they're doing, so we should all be alright.</p>
<p>ziggytheman:
where did you get the statistic 25-30% from? Provide a source please</p>
<p>omg soulstealer stop worrying about it. we don't get our scores til july. there's nothing you can do about it now. either you knew it or you didn't.</p>
<p>I'm not worried about scores right now--I'm worried about a possible ruined reputation by calling a balck man a snitch!!!--lol</p>
<p>soulstealer07: the only source I could give for that would be CollegeBoard's grade distributions, which say that approximately 25% of test-takers receive one's on the AP Chemistry exam each year....a one requires a very low raw score, so much so that a student would bascially have to have no idea what they're doing to earn such a grade. it was an inductive leap....not everything on a damn HS message board has to have footnotes and a proper bibliography.</p>
<p>Guys will someone give me the calculations on how to do it? LIke how much do I multiply mY FRQ by. Also t would be nice if someone could tell me the maximum ammount of points one can get.</p>
<p>the numbers of points for each question differ by each exam taken. from one of the practice tests that my teacher gave us:</p>
<p>multiple choice: {# correct out of 75 - (number wrong)/4} * 0.96 = multiple choice score = weighted section 1 score</p>
<p>free response: (don't round any answers)
question 1: (points earned out of 9) * 1.9556 = ?
question 2 or 3: (points earned out of 9) * 1.9556 = ?
question 4: (points earned out of 15) * 1.8800 = ?
question 5: (points earned out of 8) * 1.6500 = ?
question 6: (points earned out of 8) * 1.6500 = ?
question 7 or 8: (points earned out of 8) * 1.6500 = ?</p>
<p>add the free response points up (without rounding) to get the weighted section II score</p>
<p>weighted section 1 score + weighted section 2 score = composite score (round to nearest whole number)</p>
<p>conversion chart:
1 = 0-34
2 = 35-56
3 = 57-81
4 = 82-99
5 = 100-160</p>
<p>can anyone confirm the above poster?</p>
<p>Um I tried doing the "perfect" score and i Got a 175.. your numbers are off I think.</p>
<p>See if I got a perfect on the FRQ (103.0008) And then 75 right (72) I would get like a 175.</p>
<p>How does collegeboard determine the curve?</p>
<p>i just got it directly from the ap scoring sheet our teacher gave us.</p>
<p>haha yeah i got 175, too, that's why i asked if anyone could confirm that. hmmm</p>
<p>o wow i hope that scoring is right becuase if it is i would get a 5 easily.</p>
<p>haha yeah, I got like a 145 on that scale and I thought to myself, "There's no way that's right." I guess it's all on a curve, anyway, so it doesn't really matter what your raw score is by itself, only compared to other test-takers, but still.</p>
<p>that scoring is only right for that specific test - it changes every year.</p>
<p>My teacher ordered two old AP tests from CB, the 1999 and 200x (can't remember). They were 100 and 107 for a 5 respectivley.</p>
