APUSH Exam Grading
The APUSH (Advanced Placement United States History) exam is scored on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest score. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions and free-response sections. Each raw score is converted to a scaled score based on the number of questions answered correctly. This scaled score is then used to determine your final APUSH grade.
APUSH Grade = (Raw Score / Total Raw Score Possible) * 100
Variables:
- Raw Score is the number of questions you answered correctly.
- Total Raw Score Possible is the total number of questions on the exam.
- Percentile Score represents how your performance compares to other test-takers.
To calculate your APUSH grade, divide your raw score by the total raw score possible and multiply the result by 100. This percentage will give you an estimate of your APUSH score on the 1-5 scale.
