Physics C Mech Score

Test Preparation AP Sciences
1

<p>So I got a 4 on Physics C Mech. I know it's a good score, but many schools I'm considering need a 5. I paid the $7 to get my test book back, and self-scoring myself with the AP Scoring guidelines, I got a 25-26 out of 45. On the MC, I felt comfortable with 20-25 of my answers, and skipped another 5.</p>

<p>My question is, should I consider a MC rescore? I've heard the curve gets as low as 50% for a 5, and I probably have close to a 60. Should I try and talk them into giving me my raw score and finding out the curve?</p>

<p>You won’t get either your raw score or the curve from them, just so you know.</p>

<p>The curve is usually 50+/90, around 58%; you probably barely missed the cutoff. Also, rescores are generally for people whose scores are drastically wrong, such as a 2 when expecting a 5. Most of the time they skipped a question but forgot to skip it on the answer sheet and their answers were misaligned, or their FRQ booklet was missing. Paying money isn’t going to magically raise your 4.</p>
