<p>AP Chem was my first AP exam...and I have a few questions about the curve. HOW exactly is it curve? Do they make the score for a 5, 4, etc. lower, do they increase our "correct" percentage by adding an x amount of percentage, or do they do something else?</p>
<p>Data is analyzed. Scale is set. </p>

<p>Look at this example. The scale (out of 150) is adjusted base on their data analysis. This happens to be the last released exam (2008)</p>
