<p>While some AP exam questions are given to college level students prior to them actually appearing on an AP exam, this really isn’t the only factor. Reading the last paragraph at [Scoring</a> AP Exams](<a href=“http://professionals.collegeboard.com/higher-ed/placement/ap/exam/scoring]Scoring”>Higher Education Professionals | College Board) suggests that it is one possible factor, but because continuity is crucial, I believe the paragraph clearly suggests that the most important factor in determining overall grades is “…multiple-choice questions appear on the same exam from year to year in order to provide statistical equating of scores from one year to the next.”</p>
<p>The college students that may be randomly selected to participate in new question surveys, while providing information about how well they do, doesn’t necessarily create the continuity that is desired. Further, in a conversation with a table leader, I am under the distinct impression that these multiple choice questions are the most important factor.</p>
