<p>Like low/mid/high 4, low/mid/high 5, or even a PERFECT!</p>
<p>not like "oh you got ### on MC and ### on free response", just a percentile</p>
<p>No, cause if you were a high two, you’d feel horrible that you were so close to passing and didn’t.</p>
<p>i think they should give decimals like 2.3, 4.7, etc… but after you get to 5 it should just stop. But the collegeboard is a beeotch so they won’t do this.</p>
<p>I don’t think it would be nice. If the CB decided to put this into effect, many colleges that currently require 4’s for college credit might decide to bump that to a 4.5. Or colleges that currently only grant credit for 5’s might change it to high 5’s. I like it the way it is now.</p>
<p>I like the idea of individually seeing how you did on the MC and FR better.</p>
<p>The main thing giving the FR/MC separate scores would do is show people who got atypically low scores if they misbubbled or not.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t want this information released. If it were available, colleges would begin differentiating between low 5’s and high 5’s (and the same for the other scores), making it even more difficult to get credit.</p>
<p>^ivies barely care whether you get a 4 or a 5</p>
<p>Not exactly for admissions. But if they can differentiate between low 5 and high 5, they may change their credit policies and make it even more difficult to get credit.</p>
<p>Naa… I’ll have to study so much more to prove that I didn’t just barely passed. Currently, I study just enough to get that score and nothing more than that. </p>
<p>For all those smart kids who think they should’ve deserved a 6, too bad for them.</p>
<p>Yeah, as a self-studier I’ve probably gotten (what would be) low 5’s on my tests, so I’m fine with the current system. We already have SATs and SAT IIs to worry about for that anyway 
The breakdown for MC and FRQs would be kind of cool to have though, although only if it would be for our eyes only.</p>
<p>What exactly do they report when they give you your scores? For AP Euro, will I see how I did on each FRQ, DBQ, and MC? And they give Percentiles? Also, if they were to do the “mid,low,high” type system, they might as well make the test out of more points instead,</p>
<p>^No, you will only see the name of the exam and the score(1-5). You can see the percentage of people who make each score on the Collegeboard website.</p>
<p>QUOTE:“Also, if they were to do the “mid,low,high” type system, they might as well make the test out of more points instead”. </p>
<p>I don’t understand.</p>
<p>like 1-10. a 10 for example is high 5… 9 would be low five… 8high 4 7 low 4 etc etc.</p>
<p>^What would happen if you were to make a score that was in the middle of a high 5 or a low 5? Would you get a 9.5?</p>
<p>make it out of 15, 20, or just stop with the more "detailed’ scores lol. idk.</p>
<p>I believe that getting rid of the 1 -5 system would make AP scores a more important factor in admissions.</p>
<p>^And it would make admissions so much more stressful. No thanks. Besides, APs aren’t fair as some schools have no AP classes while others have many. So I personally think it would introduce more socioeconomic discrimination into college admissions.</p>
<p>Blah… more detailed scores = SATIII’s</p>
<p>I always feel like the 1-5 is very inconclusive and could mean many different things, but I’m gonna jump on the bandwagon that believes colleges would be annoying and nitpicky about levels of scoring when awarding credit.</p>
