<p>has anyone ever had their ap test rescored and actually received a higher score? i'm wondering because i was certain i'd get a 4 in physics (test wasn't too bad), but ended up getting a 3. is it worth rescoring?</p>
<p>is it really gonna make a difference if u get a 4 instead of a 3???</p>
<p>thats what i was thinking about. but a lot of colleges don't give credit for 3's.</p>
<p>do they rescore on AP's? i thot they shred ur MC right after its scored (a few times) and ur essays are shredded in september</p>
<p>My friend got one of her tests rescored (last year) and received a higher score; it went from a 4 to a 5. I don't remember if it was art history or stats, but she got a letter of apology from CB, and it cited "inconsistent test booklets and answer sheets" as the reason for her score error.</p>
<p>so does having that 3 meaning ur not gonna get credit for physics at teh college u wanna go to?</p>
<p>possibly
which college?</p>
<p>well, someone told me that for most colleges, they give credit for a 3 if it's physics c, but you only get credit for physics b if you get a 4 or 5.</p>
<p>How could you have predicted a 4 coming out of the test? Rescore is a scam set up by the college board to take advantage of frustrated students who can't admit that they just didn't do well.</p>

Did you see my previous post?</p>
<p>does the rescoring service also include a rereading of the free response answers? if so, then i wouldn't think it is a total scam. i was looking over my ap grade report today, and under "exam reliability" it said that, on average, 90% of those who scored a 3, 4, or 5 on an exam would score the same on a "parallel version of the exam." this is due to the discrepancies in the grading habits of the ap readers. (of course, they are trained and use a grading rubric, but never will any of the same two readers think exactly alike.) so ultimately, there is a surprising chance that one's scores may change (hopefully for the better) after requesting the rescore be done. as for the percentages of that happening, it seems like 5%-10%, but i'm no math freak and those percentages seem premature.</p>
<p>no the rescoring doesn't include a rereading of the free response section, it's only the multiple choice that will be checked by hand</p>
<p>^ could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that's what it says on the CB website</p>
<p>well, the rescoring topic aside, the 90% figure is still surprising=]</p>
