Comments for Mr. Homer's AP English Literature Website http://www.apenglishlit.com Learn with Mr. Homer Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:13:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 Comment on How to Score the AP English Literature Exam by Nazmus Shakib Khandaker http://www.apenglishlit.com/ap-english/how-to-score-the-ap-english-literature-exam/comment-page-1/#comment-32 Nazmus Shakib Khandaker Thu, 07 May 2009 05:12:03 +0000 http://www.apenglishlit.com/?p=11#comment-32 Thank you for this great information. As a student taking an AP English Lit/Comp. class, I wanted to know how the test is scored. No other sites provided such clear and relevent information as did this one. I wanted to make sure that even if a Bomb the multiple-choice section of the test but (as my teacher says it) "kick some bootey on the essyes that you [meaning I] are SO prepaired for", I can get a good score. To my surprise, I found that even if I get only half right on the multiple choice and get the rest wrong but get nines on my esseys, I can end of with a 5! But being realistic here, a 4 isn't a bad score either. I am wondering though...my teacher did say that the AP "bell curves" the multiple choice section: if too many people get a low lcore, for example, AP will grant a heigher score with lower multiple choice performance that it normally would, and this, as I was told, is done every year. I would appreciate it If you mentioned something about this and how it effect how the score is calculated. Once again thank you for reading the comment and posting a concise info.
