<p>My calculus teacher has a 100% pass rate and I don't want to be the first to ruin it. I took BC and I just felt like crying after. I felt light-headed during the exam and I think there was something wrong with my calculator after I downloaded a program. I'm not 100% sure that I failed it, but I'm not much of a risk taker. I know you can withhold your scores from colleges (meaning that it'll be graded but not sent). Can you do the same for high school? If not, I think my only option to cancel my score. Today was a really bad day; I know I could've done better.</p>
<p>I don’t think they send your score to you high school. My teacher always had to hear from us via email or next fall to know our scores.</p>
<p>Can anyone correct me if I’m wrong?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they do. They receive a report that compares their pass rate to the nation’s. My teacher showed it to us…</p>
<p>Oh really?
Well *** is up with my school??
Blegh.
I forgot…
…we’re weird.</p>
<p>my school gets the scores…</p>
<p>See?
my school=weird</p>
<p>i don’t think they get the score OF EACH identified person. It’s just an overall score of how many people got 5’s, 4’s, etc. someone correct me if i’m wrong</p>
<p>You have no idea… I’d be at the wrath of every BC student my teacher’s ever had. She’s a very likable, hard-working teacher, but she gets stressed out easily. She will be extremely upset if she doesn’t get 100% because she gets so much pressure from the school administration to “make the school look good.” Honestly, I don’t think I would ever be able set foot in her classroom again if I failed this exam.</p>
<p>The school gets a report that identifies you by name and with your corresponding score. The report I get looks something like:</p>
<p>AP CALCULUS AB</p>
<p>Adams, Jane … 4
Barker, Bob … 3
Carter, Clayton … 5
.

.</p>
<p>DISTRIBUTION OF SCORES
5’s … 27
4’s … 1
3’s … 1
2’s … 0
1’s … 705</p>
<p>I think if you cancel the scores entirely, your high school teacher doesn’t see them either at that point.</p>
<p>Agree there is definitely a sheet with score distribution for each test administered at the school. I saw it from a couple of years ago. Don’t know about individual reports for students.</p>
<p>Anyone know when/how students get their scores?</p>
<p>Blackberry, I understand your feeling intimidated by your teacher, but you need to do whats good for you. Youre the one applying to colleges; youre the one who could potentially pass out of a college math class based on your score. If you look at other threads, the cut-offs for decent scores seem to be fairly generous meaning you could have done better than you think. If you cancel your score now, you will never know what you got, even if it was OK. I believe you can withhold specific AP scores from colleges, so dont worry about them seeing a bad score. Remember that they know you took the class. It doesnt look so great to take the class and not have a score anyway–for you or your teacher. If you feel you must, make your excuses to your teacher (you didnt feel well that day, your calculator broke, the dog ate your homework, the sun was in your eyes, whatever). Then you deal with what you have to deal with, as in getting your scores and making a decision on what to do from there, and let the teacher deal with whatever he or she has to deal with. </p>
<p>You say that if you didnt pass, You have no idea… I’d be at the wrath of every BC student my teacher’s ever had. My guess is that if you didnt pass, which Im not sure is even the case, youd be doing every other future student a big favor by taking the pressure off of them. </p>
<p>Youdontsay, I could be wrong, but my memory is that scores are available in July. At least a few years ago, you could pay a fee by credit card to get them by phone a little earlier in the month or ask your school to send them to you when they get them if they do that. Scores are then sent by mail by the College Board a bit later. Could be different now, though.</p>
