Hey everyone, I'm in AP Human Geography and am trying to gauge how I'm doing. Is there a score calculator or some tool available online that could help out with that? Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
Sure, there are several online tools that can help you get an estimated AP score based on how you perform on practice questions. One reliable tool is "appass" where they have score calculators for multiple AP exams, including AP Human Geography. The calculator uses data from CollegeBoard's score distributions to provide a predictive score.
To use the calculator most effectively, you'll need to know roughly how many multiple-choice questions you're getting right and how you anticipate scoring on your free response questions, usually on a 1-9 scale. Once you input your scores on the various sections, it will give you an estimated score out of 5.
Keep in mind that this is an estimated score, to fully prepare for the AP Human Geography exam, continue studying the course material and taking practice tests regularly. Also, remember that while AP exam scores may be a small part of your college admissions application, they aren’t as heavily weighted as your GPA, course rigor, and SAT or ACT scores. That being said, a high score can generally strengthen your application, and some colleges may offer you college credit for high scores.
