This year I took AP Bio, APUSH, and AP Lang. When I checked my scores, I had straight 2s. All my hard work to not even pass one of my exams? I had straight As in all three classes. I studied nearly everyday. I did better than I thought I did on bio, but I feel that I did much better on english and history. Especially history, because I had studied the most for that exam. I used a brand new mechanical pencil that said it was #2, but does anyone know if that could have affected my scores? I know I did way better than a 2 on APUSH. Should I pay for a rescore? Does anyone have any similar experiences with this?
A mechanical pencil would not have affected your score. They ask that mechanical pencils not be used so that you do not rip the answer sheet, but the scantron machines these days can pick up light and heavy marks.
If you want peace of mind, pay for a rescore, but the chances of your score improving, from my experience, hover between slim and none.
