I am so screwed

Is there any chance you misbubbled at the beginning of the answer sheet so all your MC answers were off by one? Some of these standardized tests can be rescored by hand for a fee to see if that was the case (not sure about the APs). If you are an A student and got 4s and 5s in other AP exams (not sure if this is the case), then I’m wondering if a 1 is unusual unless you didn’t work on that course much.



DDHM: I believe the automatic test scoring software looks for this kind of common anomaly, but i could be wrong.

To OP: Don’t send that score anywhere. It won’t come up in discussion and you shouldn’t bring it up. If you simply punted on the exam, then chock it up to a bad day. Treat it like that bucket hat you bought a couple of summers ago, wore to a party, and took abuse from your friends for looking like a squid, and so you put it in the back of your closet never to see the light of day. If, on the other hand, you punted on the whole course and the exam is just the final chapter in a long semester of decay, then you essentially wasted a spot on your school schedule where you could have taken something you actually cared about, and you should try to never do that again.

If you don’t mind me asking: What subject was it?
