I’m taking APUSH and our tests aren’t curved.</p>
I actually don’t agree with you in that I think it seems very logical to not curve the scores. I mean even though a curve benefits everyone, there are also downsides. What if the highest score is consistently a C? Is that going to help on the exam? No. Even though the actual test is curved that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to put your utmost effort into your class. What if because of the curve your class is just barely prepared enough to score on the cusp of the 4/5 divide or whatnot? Just being given your raw score is most definitely the best preparation.</p>
