<p>? What’s so bad about including our MC or essay scores in the report?</p>
<p>Probably because it’s unnecessary. The SAT is something you’re supposed to get better at and predicts how you will do in college, while an AP exam is just a measure of your competency of the course material.</p>
<p>Maybe also because they don’t want colleges to set their own (higher) cutoffs to get credit? Just a guess.</p>
<p>^
never thought about that, probably right</p>
<p>Maybe they could just for the students? I mean I would love to see my essay and mc score. I’m pretty sure they talked about this, though, and decided that leaving them out would be best.</p>
<p>well in any case, I’m really glad they don’t…</p>
<p>…why would you not at least want your essay scores and MC percentage?</p>
<p>^I wouldnt want colleges to have that!
I can always take a practice test to analyze my strengths and weaknesses. Plus it would suck if you got a 4 which was right on the border. I’d rather not know i was right on the border for that one.</p>
<p>EDIT: Also, the AP test is supposed to show how prepared you were for the course. It kind of goes along with the reason why they dont send individual percentages of your grades to college, but just an A or a B. Same way, you get 5 or a 4, not a detailed 800 or 790.</p>
<p>Some tests do give scores for subsections, like AP Music Theory (aural and non-aural). The only problem with that is the fact that somehow you can end up with a 4 on one part and a 2 on the other, still ending up with a 2 for the entire thing. >.< Luckily I took the test before taking the course last year, so this year I was in the course and did well on the test. Expecting subscores of 5 and 4.</p>
