I’m sorry if i put this in the wrong section, I just joined CC today. So i’m a freshman in high school, and i just took the APHG exam on Friday. I know that there’s no sure way to calculate the score you got but I’m currently freaking out and i was wondering if you guys could tell me the chances that I got a 5. So I’m pretty sure I got around 50 out of the 75 multiple choice questions right, but i feel like I got close to 100% if not full points for the FRQs. But I was not very confident while taking the MC part that I feel like I did pretty badly and i think that might have cost me a 5. the FRQs i thought were very easy so I’m confident i did well on that section. but can you give an estimate for what you think my final score would be?The reason why I’m stressing out about this is that I’m the typical overachiever/perfectionist and i want(ed) to get a 5 so badly on this exam. And my parents didn’t want me to take this class because they thought it would be too much for my freshman year because I’m doing a lot of extracurricular activities and i thought that if I could get the highest score possible on the exam, that i could prove that they didn’t make a mistake by allowing me to take the class. So not only will i be super disappointed in myself, but I think they will too if I get a 4 or lower.
I took the practice exam a week before, and i got 100/120 (which is a 5) according to the worksheet but i don’t know how accurate that is. I’m sorry this was probably longer than it needed to be but thank you for reading and please let me know what your input on this is!

Other than using this, just relax and wait till July. I’m sure you did fine.
I tried that website but it doesn’t seem very accurate. I messed around with the scores a little bit and it seems like you can get 73 out of 120 and it will still give you a 5.
AP exams have curves the likes of which you will not see elsewhere in your high school career. You have to try really hard to get a 1.
haha thats true!
I took the APHG test as well as a freshmen. I felt pretty confident on the multiple choice part, I probably missed no more than 15 on it. I wrote a bunch of stuff for the FRQ’s even though they were mostly BS and really didn’t have an idea of what I was talking about.
Like for why English is so popular worldwide, I wrote stuff about how transnational companies in Europe/US outsource work to other countries and force the workers to learn it or something. The idea of colonialism never occurred to me and I did not write it down.
what score did you end up getting @geekygeek
I hope you realize a perfect frq score already puts you at a 4. If you actually did that well (which you probably did because the frq’s were awesome this year) then you only need 16/75 for a 5!!!You probably got a 5/
aude182, we don’t get our scores until July.
@Gatortristan I’m going to guess that the curve will be much more harsh this year, consdering how the FRQs were ridiculously easy (almost anyone could have easily gotten at least half the points) :s So things like the online calculator wouldn’t really be accurate. But I’m pretty sure he’ll get a 5 with 50/75 on the MC and near perfect on the FRQ 
oh from what you said, i thought you had taken the test in previous years haha @geekygeek
thanks! yeah the FRQs were way easier than i expected! @LosingCrayon
Don’t worry you will be fine. When I was a freshman and took the APHG Exam I student only a week before the test and got a 5. If you felt confident in your ability to apply the material you will be fine, don’t worry about it much. Plus you can always retake the test, if it comes to the worse case scenario. There is annual curve, but if depends mostly on how students did on the essay portions of the the test on a national level. If many found the essay prompt hard then there is chance there will be a significant curve, but from what I heard the essays this year were so-so. You will be fine trust, APHG is one of the easier APs an there are much harder ones ahead to worry about.
thank you so much!! that was really helpful @IvyCupcake78
No problem
