I just finished grading the MC test and, while there is room for improvement, the overall statistics are quite promising with 40 of you making it to goal 1 or higher. During tomorrow's class, we will discuss the four goals for MC testing (50%, 60%, 70%, and an AP 2 score) and how this helps to calculate your score.
If you want a preview, check out this link to the scoring sheet for a 54 question MC exam: http://www.blmcchs.org/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=21715422. We will fill out this handout with a plethora of possibilities (high scoring MC, low scoring writing, and vice versa) to give you a sense of how the overall 5 results from playing to strengths and improving your weaknesses.
As for scores, I did have the highest score on this one. Phew. I figure I have one or two tests left before some of you start outscoring me! While I can revel in this one, I do want to give kudos to our highest student scorer, CL, who reached the fourth goal of an AP 2 score. In addition, we had 4 students reach 70% plus, 10 students reach 60% plus, and 25 students reach 50% plus.
I hope you are ready for some calculating, close reading, process eliminating, and answer explaining!
P.S. Don't forget that the AP exam does not have a penalty for guessing. There were a handful of students who left sections without any answers. If you pick a "letter of the day," you will at least earn a few more points, which could be the difference in your AP overall level.
