<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was wondering when teachers receive our scores.
Don't they receive them like a week before we receive ours through the mail?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I'm not entirely sure but my Statistics Teacher told us to e-mail her our scores since she didn't see them until school starts up again.</p>
<p>My understanding is that they get mailed at the same time student scores do.</p>
<p>However, since our school district is closed through July, and it takes them awhile to sort through the mail that comes in, I don't actually get to see them until the middle of August.</p>
<p>One of our teachers told us teachers get a breakdown of everything we get on the score, like percentage of MC questions right in each field (say with Calculus, "Limits," "Differentiation," "Integration by Substitution,"....) and scores on the individual FRQ. I thought that was interesting.</p>
<p>i actually just saw my teacher at the grocery store and he said he congratulated me on my 5</p>
<p>Dude, jjchase24, that's kinda scary LOL
I saw one of my coaches just a couple days ago, and he teaches AP English...He said teachers get individual scores for all the subjects they teach. For example, a teacher who teaches APUSH and AP English will get all the scores of all the students who took those respective tests. He didn't say anything about individual scores though. I'm not sure if teachers actually get a breakdown of our scores. That seems like too much work on CollegeBoard's part.</p>
<p>man if teachers get to see that specific breakdown y can we?</p>
<p>chris07, I've heard that such documents exist, but apparently, my school doesn't pay for them, and so we don't get them. I know that the score on each FR question is bubbled in onto a Scantron style sheet by the readers, so it's possible that they could break it down this far.</p>
<p>What I have seen in the past is an alphabetical listing of all the students at my school who have taken AP Calculus AB, as well as the scores that they got on the test (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1).</p>
<p>Ok, so the CB DOES make people pay for that information. I'm surprised that my poor school orders that then. </p>
<p>Chickenboi, I guess they figure that students don't need to know what they did wrong, because they either get credit, are taking the course over again in college and will have a second chance at everything, or won't redo the course in college and so don't need that info anyway. But teachers need to perfect their teaching skills, so they give it to them. For a price, of course.</p>
<p>It's either that you have to pay for them or nobody at my school recognizes them. We're in a relatively affluent AP-hungry district, and nobody seems to know what I'm talking about when I ask for them. :)</p>
<p>And frankly, I would really like to have them, although we do so much review that I tend to know what those are anyway. For instance, I knew my students bombed AB4 because most of my students proved unwilling to solve basic trig equations by hand. :)</p>
<p>I just talked to my teacher the other day and she said the scores get sent to the school.</p>
<p>Do teachers just get a break-down or do they now what scores each student got? Like do they get a paper that says no fives, twelve 4's, fifteen 3's, ten 2's, etc. or does it tell if John gets a 2 and Mary gets a 3 or whatever?</p>
<p>It says John...2, Mary....3. I don't think they get individual breakdowns (though I am unsure). They do, however, get national averages per essay. Like, the national average for the 2nd Rushdie prompt was like 4.1 or something. Someone should ask their teacher...Haha.</p>
<p>inconnu, we just had a conversation proving that they DO get individual breakdowns if they want them. I figured that out because I DID ask a teacher(as I said). In fact, it looks like there is a teacher on this thread saying that it is the case that you CAN get individual breakdowns. Geez.</p>
<p>virtuoso, the primary one that is automatically provided offers both. It'll say something like:</p>
<p>Adams, Mary...........5
Crawford, Cindy......4
Douglas, Michael.....2
Furter, Frank N.......3
Jones, Jacque........5
Smith, Joan...........4</p>
<p>Students receiving scores of:
5.......................2
4.......................2
3.......................1
2.......................1
1.......................0</p>
<p>Oh...I think scores should remain private. The second half (how many scores each) should be what teachers should get.</p>
<p>I highly doubt teachers get breakdowns and percentages, unless they are AP readers...</p>
<p>aznsensazn, I hope you're joking....</p>
<p>Can people on this board get over their own opinions or doubts and actually believe something that someone else tells them?????????????????????????????????????????</p>
<p>What motive do I have to lie about my teacher telling me he gets the breakdowns? I didn't misunderstand him, he made it very clear he gets the percentage of multiple choice questions we get right in each skill area and then all of our free response scores. It's to help them teach certain areas better. Jesus Christ, you people shouldn't ask questions if you're not going to accept the answers!</p>
<p>virtuoso, I think the data with names and scores is highly valuable as a teacher.</p>
<p>For the most part, in my class, it confirms what I already figured was going to happen: most of my students who earned A's and B's get 5's, the remaining B's and C's earn 4's. My D students earn 3's. I had my first student fail the course first semester, and it will be interesting to see what that student does.</p>
<p>Every once in awhile, I have students who perform differently than expected on the test. On the '06 exam, I had a C+ student earn a 5 and an A- student earn a 4. Without the names attached to the data, I would have sworn it was the other way around. My A- student was nailing practice test after practice test (this student was regularly starting to earn 80 points out of 108 on the Calc test), while my C+ student was working pretty hard and earned mid-4's on the last couple of tests.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, my A- student was ecstatic about the 4, as it was the highest AP grade that this student had ever earned. My C+ student was motivated by the promise of a B, and in between the last practice exam (which wa the week before the test) and the actual exam, this student actually went and crammed like crazy in the week before, attended every after-school session that I had for an hour...</p>
<p>...Now that I look back on it, I don't know that I'm quite so surprised anymore that my C+ student earned a 5.</p>
<p>In any case, a lot of times, there's more to the story than just the raw numbers.</p>
<p>...well, if we were to do that, we'd have the naivete to assume that you heard correctly from your teacher. Teachers aren't always right, either, so you should be more cautious and inquiring instead of passively agreeing with everything ur teacher said. Unless YOU saw that breakdown with percentages, you should expect differing opinions</p>
