<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>so when we get our results in July, do they just tell us what we got (5,4,3,2,1)? Or do they tell us what our raw mc score was, and the scores on our essays as well. </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Just your score (5,4,3,2,1)</p>
<p>NOTHING else. You can pay a fee to get your FR packets for the tests you’ve taken.</p>
<p>My English Lit teacher said they give us our scores for each essay and our scores for multiple choice or may she’s the one that gets them; I’m not entirely sure.</p>
<p>^I have actually never heard that, maybe the school does, but from what I know we only get the score back and nothing more unless you pay more to get FRQ packet.</p>
<p>^in which case, you get your FRQ packet, and ONLY your FRQ packet as you wrote it. no marks. You’ll have to mark it yourself based on the rubric, lol.</p>
<p>You don’t just get 5 4 3 2 1 for all tests. For AP Calc BC, you get a Calc AB subscore. For AP Music Theory, you get a breakdown of your score.</p>
<p>Millancad is right, but those are the only two exceptions. Neither you nor your school will EVER be notified of how you scored on the MC or the essays (let alone each one). Even if you order your free response booklets (for $7 each), they will have NO COMMENTS OR SCORES on them - they will look exactly like how you handed them in.</p>
<p>Don’t you guys agree that thats kinda ridiculous? I mean here we are taking an exam that is more than 3 hours and we don’t even get to see the specifics of how we did on the test? </p>
<p>grr, that really bugs me.</p>
<p>^you should consider the possibility that it might be better if we don’t know…</p>
<p>^ maybe but I would want to know regardless of whether I did well or not.</p>
<p>They would be sued constantly if they gave out something like you got “75/108” on AP Calc. You know how many people would go to court to get that extra point if it changed their score from a 4 to a 5?</p>
<p>^yeah, there are reasons why they don’t release the scores, it also is just simpler for them to only tell you the final score. I don’t think it really matters.</p>
<p>They break them up for the SATs, so it’s not that much more difficult. And we have curves, so we have some idea how the scores are distributed. There’s also nothing stopping them from making us sign that after a hand MC check, scores are final. Not sure about the legality about that, but I’m sure the CB lawyers can take care of that.</p>
<p>I think it’s more to prevent colleges from issuing AP credit based on raw score instead of scaled score. Raw scores give more power to the universities and less to CB (Its decisions no longer mean as much).</p>
<p>I’m not complaining. It’s comforting knowing a low 5 will get me as much credit as a high 5. :D</p>
<p>^ fair enough</p>
<p>I believe they release scores in the event that there’s a tie for Siemens competition winners. Not to the students, but they evaluate the raw scores as a tiebreaker.</p>
