If there's no negative points what are the consequences

<p>Like will the curve change or something, because everyone will guess. I am not too good at figuring this kind of thing out. For BC I usually omit like 10 and if I guess I might get 3-6, so everyone will probably get there scores up, so does the curve go down? =/</p>

<p>The curve will change a bit, but not that much. Looking at the adjusted scoring worksheets released by the College Board, the curve did not really change that much. It will really only affect the borderline scores.</p>

<p>The curve will definitely change. IMO, it will change to reflect so that it’s just as easy/hard to get a 5/4/3/2/1 as it was before the guessing penalty was taken out. As a test-taker, your strategy may have to change. Other than that, there should be no appreciable change.</p>

<p>Based on the link from collegeboard</p>

<p><a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board;

<p>Page 3 has the AP conversion chart with the table for score range and the ap score. According to this, 69 to 108 raw score points to a 5. What do you all think, it might be due to this recent change in “no penalty for guessing”. Thanks for your feedback</p>

<p>Can you please suggest how the curve will change? I mean what might be the needed composite raw score range to get a 5?</p>

<p>3.14,</p>

<p>Can you please elaborate more on what you mean by saying, the curve will change definitely but not the easy/hard part… Not sure I got it correct from your post. what do you mean by strategy change? ofcourse everyone will guess whether they know or not every question because of this change. but I am not clear as to what the new score range raw score might be to get a 5</p>

<p>What’s all the confusion about people? You will not loose raw score points for putting a wrong answer. Yes of course the curve will change because college board designs all of their AP test scores to fit a certain percentage of people passing.</p>

<p>But, as per this [AP</a> Central - Multiple-Choice Scores](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board), there is no significant change in the raw score for Calc BC.</p>

<p>Can someone explain why the raw score has not changed much with this new change?</p>

<p>it still is around 68 for a 5?</p>

<p>To make up for the guessing penalty, pretty much all AP FRQ’s were harder. So the curve should reflect that.</p>
