The Thread for AP Exam Curves

<p>Hey, for the AP french language curve, don't you subtract 1/4 a point for wrong answers, not (1/3) of a point?</p>

<p>No, because AP French questions only have A, B, C, D not A, B, C, D, E</p>

<p>AP World History</p>

<p>Multiple Choice</p>

<p>(# correct - .25 * # incorrect) * .869</p>

<p>Essays</p>

<p>DBQ: # out of 9 * 2.2222
Compare/Contrast: # out of 9 * 2.2222
Change over Time: # out of 9 * 2.2222</p>

<p>Add up the four numbers (DO NOT ROUND UNTIL YOU HAVE ADDED THEM ALL UP) and round to the nearest whole number.</p>

<p>78-108 -- 5
62-77 -- 4
43-61 -- 3
27-42 -- 2
0-26 -- 1</p>

<p>To get the weighted multiple choice score...</p>

<p>c = number correct of 74
i = number incorrect
s = weighted multiple choice score</p>

<p>[c - (1/4 x i)] x 0.8108 = s</p>

<p>To find the weighted essay scores...
Each essay question is worth 20 points, so depending on how many points each essay is worth, which fluctuates every year, you can determine each score.</p>

<p>For instance:
Essay Question 1: 3 points out of 9 possible points
Because it is out of 9 points, you multiply the points received (3), by 2.2222 (when multiplied by nine is approximately 20).
Weighted Score for Question 1: 6.6666</p>

<p>Essay Question 2: 5 points out of 7 possible points
Because it is out of 7 points, you multiply the points received (5), by 2.8571 (when multiplied by 7 is approximately 20).
Weighted Score for Question 2: 14.2855</p>

<p>Essay Question 3: 3 points out of 3 possible points
Because it is out of 3 points, you multiply the points received (3), by 6.6667 (when multiplied by 3 is approximately 20).
Weighted Score for Question 3: 20</p>

<p>To calculate your final score...
Simply add the weighted multiple choice score, to the weighted scores of each essay. For a 5, you need 70-120 points.</p>

<p>Anyone know Macro/Micro?</p>

<p>Yeah Econ please.</p>

<p>Approximate cut-offs for CSAB, anyone?</p>

<p>yeah, CSAB would be nice. The wiki page suggests 33% last year got a 5 though. </p>

<p>Not sure if that's bad or good.</p>

<p>That's actually pretty good.
Usually it's around 28% or so.</p>

<p>I had a different curve for bio:
multiple choice out of 90
4 essays out of 15 each = 60</p>

<p>93 is a 5...</p>

<p>anyone know the econ stuff? also, please post how to score the chem test as well.thanks :D</p>

<p>Chem's already been posted, check the first page, it is a link to a pdf.</p>

<p>Kowloon- is the curve you posted for AP Comparative Govt.? (see below):</p>

<p>106-180 = 5
85-105 = 4
68-84 = 3
47-67 - 2
0-46 = 1</p>

<p>Does anybody know if this is for Comparative Govt.? If not, what is the curve? Thanks!</p>

<p>what about physics c :mechanics and physics c e &m and micro?</p>

<p>comp govt. scoring???</p>

<p>BUMP Micro/Macro anyone...?</p>

<p>^ can sum1 do the spanish language scoring?</p>

<p>APCS, Macroecon, Physics C, or French Lit?</p>

<p>how accurate is this for the calc and stat exams? like if i'm 10-20 points above the standard needed for a 5, can i pretty much guarantee i got a 5?</p>
