For the former AP European History people....
#1
How is the final score weighted for the AP Euro test?

I took the practice test two days ago (Saturday) and just got back my Multiple Choice, 2 Essays, and my DBQ today.

Before I go on, here's the breakdown:

Results:

- Multiple Choice: 5 (Raw Score: 61/80 Hothead. But compared to others in my class, I must say I was shocked at what I got. Glitter)

- DBQ (Peasant Revolts/Peasant Parliament of Swabia [1524-1526] in the Holy Roman Empire) - 3 (Likely a raw score of 6 out of 9 for this one)

- 1st Essay (German/Italian Unification: Bismarck vs Cavour) - 3~4. (Likely a raw score of 6 out of 9 for this one)

- 2nd Essay (anti-Semitism in Europe during the 19th century) - 3 (Likely a raw score of 6 out of 9 for this one)

Based on this AP Euro score calculator, I got a 5 overall. I think its a bit of a shock to me, can anyone check if the scoring's done to the most accurate result possible?

P.S. For math geeks that want to dump this into a calculator - Equation is:

1.125(# of MC correct) + 2.75 (Essay score) + 2.75 (Essay Score) + 4.50 (DBQ score)

Max total is 180 for the composite score. Rough composite score scale is here:

Note: The practice test was based on last year's administration (2008) of the AP European History Exam. Parts of Form A and Form B were used in the makeup of this test
