<p>In addition to the standard 1-5 score, why can't they give us our raw score as well (usually out of 90, 120, 150, 180)? I recently got a 5 on US history and I would like to know, just out of curiosity, exactly how well I did. They have to calculate it anyway, so why not tell us? Students pay CB enough already</p>
<p>Hmm, I am not entirely sure, but I believe my AP US teacher said he does receive specific scores for DBQ’s/Multiple Choice/etc. So ask your teacher maybe…</p>
<p>Because normal people won’t retake them very often, thus the scores are not useful.</p>
<p>Adding functionality to show the scores couldn’t be that hard, but who knows how their system stores data.</p>
<p>Because they are evil.
In the weeks leading up to the tests, I was working hardcore on bio. I was always on the brink of a five, but still a four. I got a four on the real test. I’d LOVE to know just how darn close I was</p>
<p>I actually like the system of scores being only 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Now while it would be nice to see how close / how far you potentially were, adding a higher dimension would create a system of rankings that potentially could lead to more stress over the whole process. If 120/180 is what is required for a 5, suddenly a 5 is not that impressive – the new goal becomes getting that 160/180th mark. If this information was released / readily available, colleges might want to see this information as well to further discriminate among applicants – see which applicants truly knew the subject up-till the level of perfection. </p>
<p>The AP system is unique in that regard, what would be the point to make it something like the SAT II, or any standardized test out there.</p>
<p>Another reason being is that the AP program Reuses questions.</p>
<p>If people had exact scores then higher achievers could discern what the answers were to the questions to the exam.</p>
<p>Teachers will only receive group analyses of AP scores, so they won’t specially see your breakdown.</p>
