Perfect Score?

Is anybody here fairly certain that they've aced (100%) or gotten close on an AP Test? I figure for a test like Calculus it'd be pretty possible. It'd be pretty cool to do, even if it doesn't matter.

What tests do you guys think this is most likely? Least likely?

i dont think ive ever aced any test or come close but i have gotten 5's. frankly i dont really care about acing a test because you or a college will never actually know but if i had to choose I would say calc (as you say) because there are only definitive answers and i generally found it a bit easier than the other ap's. other sciences like chem and physics are also "aceable" perhaps. in the english and history exams it is near impossible for even if one aced the mc, the essays are to an extent subjective and it is very unlikely that someone earns triple 9's on the free response.

I thought the whole "letter with a perfect score thing" was an urban legend, lol

i calculated my free response for ap chem in class after our teacher got it and she showed us all the answers. i got a whopping 46% and yet i got a 5?! i also omitted about 10 mc because i ran out of time and probably got a few wrong due to silly mistakes. this is shocking in a good way. did i get the borderline or did they make a mistake?

i think the hardest would be art. its the most subjuctive. did you know its possible to get a 6 in art? I think that sucks because even when you manage to get a 5 you still aren't the best.

You can't get a 6 on any Studio Art exam.

AP Art exams are divided into three sections, and a panel evaluates each section, and grades them on a scale of one to six. The sections are then averaged up, and this is your score.

However, this doesn't mean you can get a six. This scale exists so someone can get less than five on one section and still get a five. If you do happen to be evaluated and are given a six for all three, you just get a five anyways.

There is no six.

My most likely was AP Macro. Probably got max 1 point/question off on MC, and max 3-4 or so points off on Free Response.

I think it's extremely possible I was 1-3 away from a perfect score in AP Computer Science AB this year. I know I aced free response, but I probably missed a couple multiple choice questions. Extremely easy 5, though.

I'm actually fairly sure that I got at least over 95% of the BC calc test correct, if not all 100% correct. I know I got all of the FRQ's 100% correct after going through it with my Calc teacher and there were only 2 questions that I had some difficulty with on the MC. I feel pretty confident that I did get a 100% but then again, I'll never really know.
