<p>This may be an extremely stupid question but…is the multiple choice AND the FRQ curved or all AP exams? What about the speaking or writing for the language exams?</p>
<p>anyone???</p>
<p>i’m not entirely sure what you mean by “curved” per se. But it is adjusted so that the top scorers, regardless of their actual scores, get the highest grades, and so on. For math and science, at least, my teacher always makes us say “thank god for ___” which is a school district that makes their students take the AP exams without taking the class. I doubt that they really bring it down that much, but theoretically, it is on a bell curve for both the MC and the FRQs.</p>
<p>Do they apply a separate curve for each section (MC and FRQ) or an overall curve for the composite score of all sections?</p>
<p>You get a raw score for multiple choice, then you get a raw score for your FRQs. Your MC will be multiplied by a number X and your FRQ will be multiplied by a number Y. Then your scores will be added together and compared against a score chart with specific cutoffs determined each year. Hope that helps.</p>
