Curves in AP Classes

I was just wondering how some of your schools curve your tests, if they do.
My AP Physics I teacher does a square root curve while my AP Chemistry teacher curves to the highest grade in the class (I like this better because there are only 10 kids in my class). I just want to compare to see what other schools do.

In World History, teacher takes the highest grade, bumps that up to a perfect score, and then bumps up the rest by the same amount.

In Stat, teacher makes the scores ‘normal’. So generally, lower grades gets a higher curve than people who have a natural high grade.

Sorry for my bad explanation :slight_smile:

How’s Ap Physics and Chem? I plan to take those next year

I take AP Physics 1 currently. My teacher curves each test by the same amount. A 55/90 raw score is curved up to a 90%

Last year, my AP Euro teacher did whatever curve he felt like. He honestly didn’t curve a lot of test except the first three. On those tests he curved to the average and made that a B usually.

At my HS, tests were never curved. Final grades may be curved at the teacher’s discretion.

My AP Euro teacher “gets rid” of questions he thinks are unfair, so he lowers the total but if you got those questions right, they are bonus points. My physics teacher takes it out of the highest score of all her classes, and m AP Calc teacher usually doesn’t curve tests since people in the earlier periods tell the later periods whats on the test, so someone ends up getting 100%, but she sometimes lowers the point total but keeps your score ratio the same so that it has less value in the gradebook

My AP Econ teacher lets us revise everything up to an 85 (unless its take home or partner). Not a curve, but it keeps my grade up!
