I got a 1 on my ap us exam!!!!!?

Question

I got A's all year in my ap us history class except 4 a few bad test grades. My essays were awsome (said my teacher) and i got A's on them too. what went wrong?! my teacher said that nobody in my school has ever gotten a 1 before and i'm no idiot. I'm 10th in my class for gosh sakes. Please help. I'm talking ap euro next year is this a bad idea. ARGH!

Answer 1

you probaly overstudied and overstressed... im like your friend, i never study or do any hw but i got 4's on my ap tests. trust me relax when you take the test. dont overstudy and only study in groups. it helps cause then you can get your mind relaxed when you are with other people. take ap euro but if you do bad again then cancel your grades when you send them to your college.

Answer 2

I have a similar situation as well...I got As too and I'm salutatorian of my class as of now, but I got a 2 when everyone else got 3s or 4s. I asked them to rescore my m.c. and am praying for the best right now. Contact AP Services and ask them to rescore. Don't worry about euro b/c all of my friends who took both said they're completely different--hopefully in the good way ;).

Good luck and I hope this helps.

Answer 3

no you are not an idiot! i took AP us and AP euro and they are two completely different structures. besides the content the way the test is structured so completely different. i had the same problem. i took AP euro first and got a 4 on the exam and then i took AP us and got a 2... take euro you will enjoy it and try not to worry too much about the test grade in the long run it is not that important. the minute you enter college all the c**p in high school flies out the window.

Answer 4

Of course you are NOT an idiot. Maybe there's a problem with the scoring or something. Ask them, based on your performance in the class and past grades to review the exam grades and your test answers to see if there is a problem. Could be human error or a computer glitch...sounds like something's not right. If you bombed the exam, you'll know not to take ap euro...if you didn't bomb it and it was a mistake, then you'll get your confidence back.

Answer 5

If I remember correctly from when I took AP exams, you have the right to have your exam re-scored if you have a concern that your grade is wrong. If you really think you did better than that, you should look on your score report and find out how to get the test re-scored. Good luck!
