Rescore AP World

<p>After getting a four on the ap world history exam i felt down not just cause of the score but because during the test i skipped 1 bubble and had to erase almost 15 questions and redo them. It happened twice haha! In the end gotta 4 but i really felt i gotta 5 walking out. Did well in class and my essays for the actual exam were lengthy and filled with content. How much does 10-15 questions make a difference cause i know this happened for sure (can still remember the panic i was in). Money isnt the problem so would you rescore if you were in this situation.</p>

<p>Unless you need this course to get out of a history requirement then I wouldn’t waste my money. A 4 is not a bad score by any means! If you expected a 5 and got a 1 then I would rescore but it’s not uncommon for us to over/underestimate our score by a point.</p>

<p>yup a 4 is alright but the error i made during the exam might have prevented me. who knows? I guess its just worth a try.</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>Personally, I wouldn’t waste my money. Most colleges accept a 4 for similar if not the exact same credit as a 5, and a 4 is still a very impressive score. Plus, the odds of you getting a 4 based on only one of your sections being present is very small - if you had a 3 or lower, that would be a different story.</p>

<p>Unless your college/intended college offers significantly greater credit relevant to your major/general education requirements for a 5 over a 4, I would be happy with what you got.</p>

<p>Thanks and your right a 4 is a pretty good score. I still might send a letter to CollegeBoard anyways. If nothing changes ill just move on and study extensively to take it next year which im sure i can do it the second time around.</p>

<p>so now my question is that suppose I get a 5 the next year. Will it be worth less cause it will be my second time taking it?</p>

<p>“Will it be worth less cause it will be my second time taking it?”</p>

<p>Huh?</p>

<p>Do you mean for college admissions?</p>

<p>yessir i mean colleges</p>

<p>^No. But, there is little value in re-taking an AP exam for college admissions purposes.</p>

<p>So many people seem to be asking for rescores…but I’m pretty sure 99% of them will remain the same. The answer sheets are pretty high-tech, I heard that as long as all your bubblings are consistent, you could just scribble over each one and it would pick them up.</p>
