Why didn't i receive my AP score?
I was under the impression that i would get my score during the third week of July. Well here it is and no score. I know that there is part of the week left, but the thing is, all of my friends received their AP Comp score! Even my friend that lives in almost the same neighborhood got hers...Should i be worried that i'm not going to get my scores? What are some of the possibilities of why i didn't get my scores in the mail? I will call in next week if i don't get them. Did anyone else not get their scores in the mail when everyone else from their school got theirs?
Why can't I access my AP Scores?
I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm hoping it's just a server error and that it'll be up later today or tomorrow...If it's not up tomorrow, I'm going to try calling in and seeing if I can get assistance. I sent an email yet I haven't received a reply. I'm in the same boat - I took the AP Statistics day the day everyone else took it. I have my booklet, my AP number, and everything, yet when I log in, it takes me to a page saying "No Scores Available" rather than asking for my AP number (my friends had told me that after logging in, they had to fill our some information, which included their AP number). I looked at the AP Central Twitter and they said that if you took the SAT or some other standardized test with College Board before, your account was already verified and that you did not need your AP number to verify it...I took the May 2013 SAT, so I'm assuming, in my case, I don't need my AP number? And if you took the SAT or something before, then same for you. Hopefully our scores are up soon...I'm dying to know what I got! Good luck, John and Alexander!
HELP!! AP SCORES GONE WRONG?
Although there are really small chances that the score will be wrong, there are still possibilities. It is pretty hard to get a 1, since the more common score is a 2. If you really feel that you should have got a higher score and know that you did better than that, then go ahead and give it a try. the cost to rescore your multiple choice will be $25 when you sign the written request in your AP Student Pack on page 2.
Why is my AP Score is Delayed - Code 97?
I checked to see what my AP European History score was, but when I checked it said, "Score Delayed - will be reported as soon as possible (code 97)". The weird part is, is that one of my friends has already received her score. Has anybody else seen this before, and if so, how long does it take to get the score?
Missing AP test score??? How to find???
Don't fret about not getting them just yet. There might have been a little confusion about your paperwork for some reason, especially if you took AP tests the year before (like including your SS number one year and not the next.) On the collegeboard website, it says even though you're suppose to get them early to mid July, it can come as late as August. As of July 1st, you can call (888) 308-0013 to get your grades for an $8 fee as long as you still have your AP number and other information found in the student pack you recieved during testing (the one with all the AP labels) or you can look on the website. You should probably wait a few more days if you can stand it (I know I couldn't until mine finally came a few days ago). I'm sure they'll come. =)
I lied about my AP scores to Columbia University, and yet somehow got admitted. Should I just not send my scores?
As a two time graduate of Columbia with a friend that works in undergraduate admissions, don't say a word about it. Do NOT write a letter... If Columbia rescinds your application, other schools will know why. Admissions departments in the Ivy League communicate with each other, so don't think for a second that the other schools you applied to wouldn't find out. You are already going to be penalized for your actions, since you will be unable to submit your AP scores and receive credit for them lest Columbia finds out you lied.Columbia takes cheating VERY seriously. A classmate of mine was expelled for changing one test answer, because it would change their exam grade from an A- to an A. They apologized very sincerely. They still got the boot.If you've learned your lesson from this, let it go, move on, and don't do it again. Getting expelled isn't worth it. Considering you felt guilty enough to post about it on Quora, you probably do know better now.If you are dealing with feelings of not being a worthy applicant, don't. Columbia rejects thousands of people every year that are more than qualified enough to get in. What they seek to do in the admissions process is to put together a diverse group of people who will learn from each other and grow together. It's more like auditioning for a role in an ensemble cast than just being at the top of the qualified applicants. You've met their criteria for acceptance, but if you don't have anything unique to offer your classmates, you won't get in. You filled a spot for a certain type of person that they were looking for. Your AP scores are of very little worth to Columbia, since they accepted you for reasons other than academic success. Columbia, particularly CC, is notoriously difficult with giving credit for AP classes anyway (there's usually a list of contingencies to receive the credit, like finishing a more advanced class with at least a B, etc.) A lot of people wind up retaking the course regardless, since they find themselves unprepared for the next level class with only an AP course filling the prerequisite.You made a mistake, and you could have faced pretty terrible consequences if you had gotten caught. What you did was wrong, but sacrificing your future isn't going to fix it. Now that you've actually gotten in, just don't do it again. It isn't worth the risk. So long as you do well and keep your GPA out of the gutter, you'll find that it matters very little in the run.
What's your score on a 1-5 scale if you get a 50% on an AP exam?
As a general rule of thumb, here are the cutoffs for most AP exams:75% for a 5. Why a 75% cutoff? AP exams are hard. They’re 3 and a half hours long on a good day, and usually 4–5 due to delays in registration and filling out forms. On most FRQs, even the best students will get stumped on a question due to pressure, and get it more or less completely wrong; this already drops a score to about 80%. On the multiple choice, students are often pressed for time, with challenging questions. 75% lets students get an FRQ question wrong and miss a few more points here and there.60–65% for a 4: You’re showing significant weaknesses in certain areas. While a solid student might miss 1 out of 5 FRQs, a student would have to get 2 completely wrong to get such a score, indicating significant weaknesses. By the way, in many college classes, 65% averages on exams are normal, which correspond to a B. 60–65% as a 4 makes sense, relative to university classes.50–55% for a 3. Many, if not most exams set this at a 3. When you get half the exam wrong, you definitely have weaknesses. However, college classes usually set outright (or end up curving) 50–60% as the cutoff score for a C. So this isn’t too far away from a college course’s grading system.Tl;dr: You probably got a 3. Not a horrible score, but not good either. Most colleges demand a 4 for useable credit, and some desire a 5.Certain exams have grading scales of their own. In AP Bio and Physics C, you’d be on track to a 4 with 50%, and close to a 5 on the Physics C exam. Meanwhile, AP US history and Economics would give you a 2, without a matter of doubt.
How much do AP scores affect your college admission? Should I not bother applying to elite and ivy universities?
Thanks for the A2A!AP grades, not exam scores are what count in college admissions. I ran down the reasons exams don’t really matter in Lessa Scherrer's answer to Should you still show colleges your AP scores even if they don't meet the specific college requirement?The bottom line is that you have a very competitive profile, and I encourage you to not bother taking the exams for any AP classes you will be taking in your next year. If you are a rising senior, the exam grades won’t be available until long after the admissions process is done, so they are even less relevant senior year than any other year. And if you know you aren’t likely to do well on the exams, why pay for them?You should know that admission to elite and Ivy universities is generally not based on grades and test scores. Those schools make an assumption about what your test scores (SAT or ACT) will be based on your high school and socioeconomic status and only notice if the score is wildly out of sync with the rest of your application. Instead you need to focus on taking leadership roles and making a difference in your community (preferably a different difference than anyone else applying).
How do I score my AP Human Geography practice exam?
To be more precise, unlike the person above me, the score you receive for your ap test is a comparison of you and others who are taking it. Therefore, it's impossible to score unless it's compared on a curved scale. Usually the top 20% get a 5, then the next 20% get a 4, then the next 20% get a 3 and so on. So if the top scorers get a 10/75, then if you have a 10/75 you'll get a 5. However, I doubt people would get a 10/75 (its human geo after all) The score you get is how well you did compared to everyone else in the nation Generally, I would say that your stats would be equivalent to about a 3 or 4. Good luck on the test!
Will poor AP scores (mostly 3's) kill my chances at top 10 universities? I've never bothered to prepare for AP exams and my scores are by far the worst part of my application. I also have some B's in AP classes, but everything else is stellar.
Kill? Maybe not. Do you have an Olympic medal? Or an international science prize? Have you published any books? Are you in a seriously disadvantaged category (orphan, poor immigrant, dyslexic, etc)?Low AP scores and any B’s at all make your chances of admission to highly selective universities very slim. Not only do most applicants at such schools have straight A’s (or very nearly), most have 5’s on a few AP tests or a similar IB record. For reference, Caltech’s freshman class is usually more than half composed of high school valedictorians.The bigger red flag for me is that you claim not to have studied for your AP tests. These tests cost money and can potentially save you thousands of dollars in skipped courses at many colleges. If you are both intelligent and serious about attending a competitive college, there is no way you would take such a test without studying. (Unless in was a particular subject you knew you would get a 5 in. I didn't study for AP government, but I studied for all the rest).All is not lost. You’ll still look nice to larger state schools, which have a number of competitive programs. Second and third tier schools will still consider you. Remember that nearly all doctors and lawyers in the US do not attend a ‘top 10’ school for undergrad. You don't need to attend Harvard to be successful.
