On the AP World Test I messed up, I left the bubbling until the VERY end and didn’t fill in 20 or so questions. Naturally, right after the test, I sent in a re-score form. I ended up with a 3, and was told that there was no difference in my AP scores. But I am a bit sceptical.
A 3 is very low for me, I did a lot of practice tests and got a 4 to a 5. And I thought the AP test was easy (I just over estimated my time). At first, I accepted my 3, because there was nothing that I could really do. But I found out that my other classmates who weren’t as smart as me got 5’s, I got a little ticked. At the bare minimum, I expected a 4.
20+ mp questions are a lot, even if I didn’t get all of them correct.
I want to know if I messed up the rescore by filling out a form before the score came out. I already paid for it, so I don’t know what to do.
If you think I’m in denial, should I take the test again when it comes around this year? (I’m a senior)
Or even, should I request my individual essay scores and/or the difference the rescore did in my multiple choice? If my score is broken down like that, I think I could live with it.
(I also took the SAT subject test for World History, the score was released late, maybe college board was confused?)
If you didn’t bubble in your answers, you just answered your own question. You got a 3 because you didn’t answer the questions.
AP World History isn’t an intelligence test.
Re-score doesn’t result in someone else bubbling your empty sections for you. If you didn’t bubble, you don’t get points for those questions.
Obviously, your “not as smart” classmates bubbled in the answers.
Do you continue to expect full credit for incomplete work, by sheer virtue of your inherent superior smartness?
thanks, I didn’t know that. I’ll just retake the test this year since I did pretty well on the SAT subject test. I was really nervous on test day, it was stupid.
Ok I know I didn’t deserve credit, and I feel really bad. But for me, the AP World Test was the only way of defining who I am in school. It was a blow to my ego, when the only ONE class I was good at turned out to not count for college credits. I know I’m being rude and that’s why there are so many comments that are bashing me, but I genuinely did not know that rescore didn’t work that way. How am I supposed to explain to colleges that I did the worst on my favorite subject? I was an idiot and worried too much about multiple choice, and rereading each question several times, before I bubbled in my answers.
College Confidential doesn’t allow me to delete posts; so can you guys kindly stop replying when I understand now that I’m an idiot. I was rude and brash in calling other classmates less smart than me, but please understand, World history is the only thing that I could say I was good at, but I guess all I am now is an idiot.
