AP Exam dilemma?

Ok so I took four AP exams this past may, english lang., us history, physics b, and psychology. I do pretty well in these classes about 93, A's pretty much, I'm one of the top peple in my class, etc. i got back my AP score report the other day and i got 2, 2, 2, 3 respectively. I was shocked. I dont want to sound arrogant but i was confident in history thinking i got a 3 or 4, english was a bit more difficult and i thought i got a 3 and 4 would be a reach. I thought i got a 4 or 5 in psych because the mult-choice was a breeze although i got a little stumped on the essays. Physics i got a 2 and i thought it was kind of deserving because the physics AP was hard as h**l. The reason why I'm writing this is to ask the reliability of the AP scantron thing or just everything in general. Im asking because in the history and english APs I answered about 66% (give or take a few percents) of the m/c questions and did them CONFIDENTLY.

  1. I am in a similar situation right now.

    I was completely sure that I would get at least a four on my AP bio exam. I got my score back a few days ago and was shocked to see that I got a three. I answered 85% of the m/c unlike the rest of my class which answered the whole test. The questions I did answer I was really sure about. My essays were great (I think I deserved a 7 on each) I'm pretty sure there was a flaw in the scantron's grading.

    I am a very bright straight A student and I really think that I deserved a 4.


  2. id say dont stree over it, A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT 2S THIS YEAR there might be a glitch, or maybe the test was just too hard. i wouldnt want to spen 25 bucks in their mistakes but if you feel u need it

  3. Well, no offense, but maybe you're whole class just isn't that smart.  I highly doubt there is an error in the scoring.  If every "smart" kid who thought they did better than they really did asked for a rescore, College Board would be rolling in the riches.  What sort of colleges are you looking at?  Ivy League? If so, I assume you're going to be a senior this fall and your AP scores this upcoming year, won't matter to colleges.  So, I would just focus on the SAT, GPA, and extracurriculars.  THere really isn't much you can do about your AP scores now.  SOrry if this answer seems pessimistic to you, but, I'm just being honest.
