<p>I'm sure it's happened before, but it seems almost impossible, considering how difficult it is to get 3 9's on essays with the time constraint. </p>
<p>You don’t have to get perfect scores on all your essays to get a 5…</p>
<p>I know a bunch of people who’ve gotten 5’s. </p>
<p>Yeah, getting a 5 on Lang is far from impossible. </p>
<p>Perfect score=150/150. All MC right, all 9s. As far as I’m aware (public doesn’t have much access to that data) it hasn’t happened on either.</p>
<p>Yes, @dannyo95 knows precisely what I mean.
Of course getting a 5 isn’t impossible. I would have to be pretty colossally unaware of how AP exams work to think of such a thing.I don’t consider that a perfect score, however. </p>
<p>They don’t usually release your score breakdown to you, so nobody would have any way of knowing this.</p>
<p>If you do get a perfect score, the CollegeBoard notifies you by mail in September.</p>
<p>There is no score breakdown released for AP English exams.</p>
<p>There is no score breakdown released for any exams? But people do receive notifications for receiving perfect scores in other exams, so I don’t see why they wouldn’t do the same for this?</p>
<p>Hmm, googling around I find you might be right–what a weird policy!</p>
<p>I THINK I remember seeing Trevor Packer post on twitter when someone receives a perfect score. IF I remember correctly (and that’s a big “if”) he put the school that had the perfect score and the subject. </p>

<p>Packer mentions the amount of perfect scorers for some of the tests</p>
<p>Already checked there. No mention of any perfect scorers in any of the listed score distributions, I’m afraid.
Is this really so elusive a feat?</p>
