The AP exam system is fundamentally flawed; its ceiling is not high enough. Although a 5 may very well be a good score, someone who has truly mastered the material on the exam would most certainly score about a 70-75%. The lower ranges of a score of 5 do not correspond to mastery of the subject material. A “6” score should be created that represents acquiring at minimum 85-90% of the possible points.
