<p>I took a AP biology practice exam and got 64/100 on multiple choice and 27/40 on the free response</p>

<p>Can someone tell how u determine the composite score for AP biology exam</p>

<p>tell how they weight the multiple choice and free response.</p>

<p>or tell me a scale after u combine both MC and FR</p>

<p>Barrons say 60% is multiple choice and 40% is free response, but chiff has a different weighting system i am sure if barron has it right.</p>

<p>Tell me an approxiamate score plz I want to know score it’s frustrating me</p>

<p>64 *.9 + 27 * 1.5 and you then have to subtract 1/4 point for every wrong MC.</p>

<p>BigIs I have no idea what your doing. Please tell me what the * means and explain it verbally, because I also do not know how to calculate my score.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>The number of multiple-choice points is multiplied by .9</p>

<p>The number of essay points is multiplied by 1.5</p>

<p>The number of wrong MC answer is multiplied by negative .25</p>

<p>Add three numbers together and you have your composite score.</p>

<p>Bigis thank u very much, but I just want to know very u found this. and can u tell me a possible scale.</p>

<p>Does anybody know if this is still true with the new grading curve for 2011???</p>

7

<p>No, it does not entirely hold true, because there is no longer a penalty (-.25) for incorrect answers.</p>

<p>damnnnn. so how should i grade my practice tests now? HELP!</p>

<p>What I would do is score it using the same method except for the deduction for incorrect answers. Then…
