<p>Have anyone used it… And their score was exactly what APpass.com says? </p>
<p>Because according to APpass.com to gett a 3 you only need a solid F to pass. When i thought F was meant for failing…</p>
<p>Yes, it is reliable. Most often, a high F or a D-ish on an AP test is a 5 because AP tests are pretty hard.
Their data comes from tests from previous years.</p>
<p>What!? A D- is considered a 5? This better not be false info… I’d be so devastated :P</p>
<p>no, it’s right. AP tests have huge curves</p>
<p>It varies from exam to exam, but typically the 5 range is between 60-80% correct.</p>
<p>It will give you an idea of what you scored on the exam but it’s not that reliable because the curve changes every year.</p>
<p>Its reliability depends a lot on how well you judge your own performance. I usually put in “best case” and “worst case” scenario scores and look at the range. It’s been accurate for me in the past.</p>
<p>so do you guys think it will be accurate for APUSH this year? because a lot of people are saying it was easier than previous years…</p>
<p>Your understanding of F and D do not correspond with the AP curve.</p>
<p>Yes, it is. It was fairly accurate for my APUSH score last year.
The scores are extremely curved. They set the curve after all the scores have been determined. They basically decide how many people get 5’s, 4’s, 3’s, ect. If it was just an A is a 5, a B is a 4, ect. most people would get 1’s or 2’s.</p>
<p>It’s cause I’m at a border-lining between a 2 and 3. That scares me. </p>
<p>ALSO, AP art history exam this year is different, with less short answers. You guys have any idea on APAH 2012.</p>
<p>It’s somewhat reliable and the curve does vary every year in some extent.</p>
