How are AP Exams scored?

<p>Anyone try those AP diagnostic tests on Sparknotes? I think they're probably too easy, but they make me feel optimistic. I did, like, half the Bio test in yearbook today before I got bored and started going to other sites, and it still have me a 4 when time ran out. Haha.</p>

<p>hahaha. yeah i did try that. said i could got a 5 in APUSH if i did well on free response. gosh, i hate free response....</p>

<p>would've brought your attention to that.</p>

<p>Somehow, today I increased my score from 32 to 52, from a 2 to a 3 today.</p>

<p>nns91, whatthe heck ur talking about (32 to 52)?
i think ur score increase b/c u learned from ur mistakes and learned something u were missing.</p>

<p>I did better on my AP Physics B practice exam, getting about 72% correct, while i got 62% right last time. but still, does anybody know how are AP Exams are scored? Is there a chart or something to show how AP scores are distributed?
proleteraiat, thanks for pointing out that to me.lol.</p>

<p>Look at your damn AP prep books or ask your teacher. for Physics B the threshold is around 60% for a 5. For a 4 the threshold is like a 46%. These are 1998 figures, but the percentage tends to hover around the same area.</p>

<p>sheesh, enderkin, no need to use profanity here. just trying to keep this thread alive....looks like i'm pretty much in the 4-5 scale, according to my damn AP prep books.</p>

<p>damn straight. </p>

<p>(i don't consider damn to be a profanity. also, i am exuberant. no anger here)</p>

<p>All the AP tests are graded differently. I still don't understand why people need to know stuff like this. Just do as well as you possibly can.</p>

<p>It actually is important because it alleviates stress in some cases. For instance, I aced the MC on the E and M last year but made a lot of careless mistakes on the FR. However, I was confident that I would get a 5 because I knew the cut-off was around 50%...the rest is history.</p>

<p>BTW, AP English = toughest cutoff. You need around a 75% for a 5.</p>

<p>ur right, piccolojunior, it does help to alleiviate some stress by knowing at least something.</p>
