<p>If College Board loses a portion of one’s AP exam, do they give you the same percentage on the lost portion as in the one they scored? I have read stories of people getting a projected score of 5 -even when they got a 1 just with the “non-lost” portion.</p>
<p>So… I’m just going to completely make up this entire scenario. Let’s take a look at the AP Language exam.
45% = MC<br>
55% = FRQs</p>
<p>So, let’s say they lost your MC (somehow). They would calculate your FRQ raw score and then divide it by 55 and multiply it by 45 (thus converting it) to calculate your “projected MC score”.</p>
<p>The curve for AP Lunch is as follows:</p>
<p>5: 85-100
4: 70-84
3: 55-69
2: 40-54
1: 0-39</p>
<p>Weighting for AP Lunch is as follows:</p>
<p>MC=50% (50 points)
FR=50% (50 points)</p>
<p>A kid took the AP Lunch exam in 2011. His MC was scored and he received 39 points. His FR went bad during shipping (the air conditioning in the shipping truck broke). So his total score had to be projected from the MC score.</p>
<p>If we only had the MC, his raw score is 39/100, which translates to a 1.</p>
<p>To project, the scorers assume that the student does equally well on FR as he does MC. They award the student 39 projected FR points. His new raw total is 78 points, which translates to a 4.</p>
<p>With AP exams that have more generous curves, it’s entirely possible for the scenario the OP mentioned to happen.</p>
<p>I’ve always wondered… will colleges accept projected scores for credit?</p>
<p>How would you figure out a projected score for AP Biology? </p>
<p>The scoring scale is:</p>
<p>1.) 0-57
2.) 58-68
3.) 69-80
4.) 81-94
5.) 95-150</p>
<p>The “formula” is (0.9)(# of correct MC) + (1.5)(# of correct FR).</p>
<p>Suppose someone got a 1 on the exam because he scored 50/100, and CB lost the FRQs portion (and thus he got 0/40 in the FR).</p>
<p>How would you figure out the projected score?</p>
<p>Would it be (.9)(50) + (1.5)(20) = 75, and as a result a 3?</p>
<p>^That’s exactly right.</p>
