Does AP Rescoring Check Your MC Booklet?

<p>Hello! n__n </p>

<p>I took the AP Computer Science A test this year, and I got my result today. I got a 3. I understand that it is a passing grade, but I'm not happy with it because it doesn't show what I really can do.... Long story short:</p>

<p>I always take multiple choice tests by circling in answers on the test itself first, then transposing those answers onto the bubble sheet when I'm all done. I didn't pay attention much to the time that day (bad idea, I know, I was really nervous!), but I was expecting a 10 minute warning, which was not given by the proctor. So as I was bubbling in the answer for #17 out of the 40 questions, she said the time was up. I didn't say anything because I figured there was nothing that could be done, so I just let it go and I didn't cancel my score. I was really confident about how I did on the free response section, so I was hoping for a clutch 4.</p>

<p>Basically, I didn't get to bubble in my answers for over half my multiple choice even though I knew what most of them were. :( </p>

<p>My question here is: If you request a rescore on the multiple choice section, do they look at your multiple choice booklet while rescoring, too? Or do they just compare it with an answer key?</p>

<p>*P.S. - If the answer to the above is no, I'm planning to retake the AP next May. Does anyone know if I can delete my old score? As in, can I keep the 3 from being sent on my application, but still send my new score? *</p>

<p>“work written in your MC booklet will not be graded” </p>

<p>It’s on every standardized test. Sorry.</p>

<p>No need to cancel the 3, just retake and it will show your 5 for next year.</p>

<p>Ah… That would make sense. Alright, thanks a lot :)</p>

<p>i’m not sure if on AP tests if it’s an official rule that time @ 5 minutes needed to be called. </p>

<p>You could have called CB for a testing irregularity ;D</p>

<p>That stinks man. You should really get out of the habit of doing that, or at least bring a watch to time yourself.</p>

<p>Calling the time at 5 minutes is not an official rule. Proctors can determine for themselves when, if at all, that they will announce the time remaining in an exam section. Students on an AP level are expected to be able to budget their time and work efficiently through a test.</p>

<p>I think the only thing proctors are required to do, regarding time, is to write down the start time and the finish time on the board in the classroom.</p>

8

<p>so i guess its an official rule for SAT/ACT that 5 minutes needs to be called? </p>

<p>I remember during my June ACT “I will call when there is 5 minutes remaining”</p>

<p>@div301 Would it be too late to call now? LOL
@astults13 Yeah, I learned my lesson that day T__T
@thiruvin000 Is that true? My proctor didn’t write anything on the board. Maybe because we were put in the dance room, but there were whiteboards there, just no markers. Part of the reason I lost track of time was because I didn’t know what the end time was…</p>

<p>Ah, all in all, I think it’s too late to do anything by now anyway.</p>
