<p>I’ve got Ethel Woods’ book and I just took my first practice test. However, there aren’t instructions on how to score it. Does anybdoy know the approximate multiple choice correlations? For example how many do you have to get right to be on track for a 5? There are 55 questions.</p>
<p>Hmm… I have the Ethel Wood book too, because I thought I would self-study this year, but I’m doing it next year instead. You’re right… There isn’t any scoring information.</p>
<p>My Ken Wedding book (not very reliable), however, has some information. It says that the multiple choice section accounts for half of your final score. The Collegeboard transforms your multiple choice score from 55 points (there are 55 questions) to 60 points. The way this is done is by multiplying your score on the multiple choice section by 60, and then dividing the product by 55, so it’s (your score*60)/55.</p>
<p>For the free-response section, you can go on the collegeboard’s website. Look in the section for AP comparative government, and look at previous free-response questions. They should be accompanied with scoring information. The free-response counts for 60 points as well, so once you find how many possible points there are, you can find out how to translate that amount into 60. </p>
<p>To earn a 5, it says that you need a score of about 90 out of 120. </p>
<p>Once again, the Ken Wedding book is EXTREMELY unreliable.</p>
