haha we didnt havre that ap shit

[quote="Garry Coleman":24da8][quote="Sgt Stryker":24da8]I took AP chem and AP physics got 5 and 4 respectively.
I was supposed to take the Calc test but I chickened out. (however I went to Calc 3 anyways got an A and got A credit for Calc 1 and 2 biggrin: )[/quote:24da8]
ugh, i hate super-smart people biggrin:[/quote:24da8]

not necissarily super smart.
I believe you ned to only get like 70% on the chem test to get a 5.
the calc test was something like 55% oOo:

yea they curve it like a mother fuker,my ap english teacher told me you only have to shoot for getting half the multiple choice right and like really low on the essays. i just hope i get simple promtps

Calculus is teh uber easy-0rz.

on ap tests, what do they do about questions you skip? is it counted as wrong?

i know we went over this before in class......why would i pay attention?
I think they don't count as wrong answers, BUT they do take away from the total questions they use to calculate your score. EXAMPLE

you have 50 questions....you skip 4. Say you got 36 right. You're score for that section would be 36/46. I'm NOT POSITIVE ABOUT THAT. IT DOESN"T SOUND RIGHT, but i'll find out for ya.

That doesn't sound right at all. I'll just do the easiest question, skip the rest, and get a 100 on the test...

my thoughts exactly

1 Each answer sheet is run through an electronic scanner. This transfers the information directly to cartridges, creating a record for that sheet.

2 The scanning cartridge is processed by computer. The computer program checks each record for invalid or missing identification data and scores the student's responses.

3 The computer counts how many answers the student got wrong, then deducts a fraction of that number from the number of right answers. For exams with five-choice items, the fraction is one quarter; for those with four-choice items, it is one third. This type of scoring is appropriate for tests where students are not expected to have mastered all of the material that might be tested. With this procedure, the average multiple-choice score under purely random guessing is zero.

4 The total score is now rounded to the nearest whole number; if the score falls halfway between two whole numbers, it is rounded upward. If the student scores less than zero as a result of the correction for guessing, the score is replaced with a zero.

5 Finally, the computer creates a record for the student, containing his or her total multiple-choice score, and any subsection scores needed for calculating the composite score.

After the 2002 administration, nearly 938,000 answer sheets were returned to ETS and then scanned in approximately two weeks.

You don't get credit for the questions you don't answer so you'd only get the points fir the question you answered.
