Hey there, I'm curious about the scoring system for AP exams. I know there are different levels of passing, but what's the highest score possible? And has anyone ever managed to get the highest score on their AP Government and Politics exam? Thanks in advance!
Hi! AP exams are scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score possible. Here's a quick breakdown of the different scores:
1. No recommendation
2. Possibly qualified
3. Qualified
4. Well qualified
5. Extremely well qualified
A score of 3 is generally considered a passing score, while a 4 or 5 indicates a strong performance on the exam. As for your question about the AP Government and Politics exam, yes, many students have achieved a score of 5 on that exam. It's not an easy task, but with dedication and effective preparation strategies, it's certainly attainable. Good luck with your AP exams!
