***Official AP Language and Composition 2012-2013 Thread***

<p>Got a 4, and am super mad about it. I was averaging solid 5’s on all of the practices I took.</p>

<p>Expected a 1, got a 5.</p>

<p>I got a 4. I’m happy, considering I was expecting a 3 and got a B- in the class.</p>

<p>Got a 5, which I was expecting. This was the exam that I felt the most confident after (mostly because I had a teacher who made us write essays all year, which was torture, but good practice). We actually never practiced the Multiple Choice in class but it ended up being super easy.</p>

<p>Got a 5, was expecting a 5 because I thought I did really well on the essays.</p>

<p>Got a ****ing 3, I swear they cut off half my MC section or lost my FRQ’s or something</p>

<p>Is there any way to check your essay scores?</p>

<p>You can’t check your essay scores, but you can order your free response booklet to make sure that they didn’t lose it. (you still won’t be able to see your score/any comments but if you receive your booklet, that means that they didn’t lose it)</p>

<p>If you order a MC rescore and it turns out you accidentally skipped one in the beginning of the test, would they re-score it according to your error, since it IS by hand?</p>

<p>no class and didn’t even know what was on the test… 5… someone somewhere mad a mistake but I’m not fighting it</p>

<p>The Princeton Review was a good review book, but there are also many practice test than can be found online. I got a 3 on the 2013 lang and comp exam, it might not be a 5, but it’s definitely indicative of passing. In my opinion, the exam was difficult not because I got a 3, but because many of my peers agreed with me that it was very challenging. My teacher also went to a meeting after the AP reading was completed and the college board readers said that this year’s exam was highly difficult. My suggestions to those who will be taking the test is to do timed multiple choice and try to grasp as much knowledge from your teacher. Thankfully I had an excellent teacher that trained her students with all her skills.</p>

<p>@chung unfortunately they would still grade that blank questions. It IS by hand however as test takers it is our responsibility to double check that we answered all the questions. Sorry :confused: however if you feel you 100% should have scored higher and your score change would make a difference for college (credit for class) then you might want to reactors anyway!</p>

<p>I got a 1 on my AP Lang exam when I walked out of the room knowing that I got at least a 3. I feel as if only half of my exam was graded because i know for a fact that i wrote 3 solid essays that would have gotten me a 2 if graded without the multiple choice. The thing that gets me more mad is that classmates that I do better than got 3s on the exam, and I get a 1??? Even my teacher was surprised because I was one of her best students. she thought I would at least get a 4 If I wrote how i did in class, which i did. I want to re score but i don’t want to waste my money. Has anyone had any success with a re score? It is possible that they lost my open-ended part of the exam and only graded the multiple choice?</p>

<p>I scored a 3 on the exam after being unsure about passing. During the exam I couldn’t finish the last passage in the multiple choice section. However, I do remember writing decent essays, especially the argument were I used a literary allusion to “The Great Gatsby.” The exam was indeed challenging! But with solid essays and a good teacher one can at least pass.</p>

<p>I GOT A FIVE!!! I guess my grader was a fan of my argumentative essay about Lindsey Lohan!</p>

<p>While your teacher’s grading on essays may be different from the grading by the AP grader, I think that if you feel very good about getting a high score, you should go for the rescore. Word of caution, though: you probably didn’t get a 5 unless they lost all sections, and getting 6s on all three essays is more difficult than it seems</p>

<p>I called college board and they said that I wouldn’t have received a score if my booklet was missing. I think that they are just saying that so they don’t have to deal with an investigation if they did really lose it. Should I still request my booklet? or should I just forget all about my score and move on</p>

<p>Don’t feel bad if you didn’t do as well as you expected. I got a perfect score on the CR of the PSAT (80) and a 34 on both the reading and writing section of my ACT, yet I got a 3 on the AP exam. It happens!</p>

<p>You might have just been having a bad day with the reading or have been not really into your writing that particular day. The AP score is just representative of your performance on one particular day and isn’t necessarily reflective of your reading and writing abilities as a whole.</p>

<p>I got a 5, but that’s only due to my amazing AP English teacher. His students generally get 4s or 5s, but the downfall is the workload during the year. It was worth it in the end.</p>

<p>This is way late, but who remembers the name of the one passage from MC that had these keywords: “pay technology TV backseat child raindrops race landscape”</p>

<p>It was basically about a woman who would rather not pay to have backseat television in her car for the sake of her child being quiet because when she was younger she would look at the raindrops race on the window.</p>
