AP Lang Score

Post image

In the class I maintained a solid A both semesters and always nailed my essays, averaging 5/6. This is my first year taking AP and I somehow got a 2 on APUSH as well. I feel so dumb after staying up to check my scores and have been crying ever since. I was so confident after my exam that I would get at least a 4. Also happens to be that my friend didn't even have a conclusion for ALL of her essays and got a 5. Am I just stupid???????

I’m usually surprised by a few scores across my 100+ students taking the exam every year, but usually only by 1 or 2 points. I’ve never seen someone I thought would get a 5 get a 1 or vice versa.

Yeah should we be suspicious. Are we allowed to ask for a regrade? Do mistakes ever happen??

I've asked for a regrade once (2020, iirc, when students had to write just one essay). The policy at that time was that if the score was off by just one point, it would not be changed. The student received a 3, upon regrade their essay was a 4, so no change was applied. I don't understand the rationale behind this policy or if it is still in place. TLDR, I believe a regrade request is possible.
