Grade bump for getting a 3 on the AP test

At my school, some AP teachers do grade bumps, but none of them would bump the grade of a 3 to an A. For example, our AP Euro teacher adds 5% to a 3, 10% to a 4, and 15% to a 5, so if you had a 75 in the class and gets a 5, then she would add 15% to your 75%. For AP bio, our teacher bumps all 5s to As in both semesters and a B and an A for the two semesters for a score of 4 and 2 Bs for a score of 3. The other classes don’t have a specific rule of how the grade bumps are, so you really have to plead the teacher to do it after the test if you end up scoring higher than what your grade reflects. One of my friends got a D in AP calc but got a 4 on the test, he had to plead the teacher to bump him up and he did at the end to a C-, so at least he doesn’t have a failing grade in his transcript. So yea that’s it.
