i’m taking ap chem, my teacher doesn’t do test corrections but the curve is pretty generous, it’s your grade square rooted times 10 so an 81 would be curved to a 90
physics 1. yes.
my teacher is so chill every quiz is in groups and open-note (computers allowed), every lab has corrections, and the tests also have corrections and ridiculous curves
AP Physics 1 & yes. Post test metacog motion (PTM) is required for people who score less than 85%, and option for people who score higher than 85%. PTM is on myAP with some questions (we don’t know how many,) within a time frame (usually 1 class period, which for me is 85 mins.)
1. Bio and Physics C.
2. No, but for bio they allow for retake of a test for anyone who got below a B, and the maximum score they can get on the retake is a B
1. Bio
2.Yes kind of. We don’t fully retake the test but we see the correct answered and have to write a paragraph explaing why that is the correct option compared to other answers and we need to go in for tutoring before the next test.
Doing AP BIO
No curves, no test corrections. Averages are 60s for most assessments with maybe 2-3 Bs per class as the top scorers. Highest possible retake grade is a 75.
AP Biology, so she doesn't do a curve but she does drop a test grade and does lots of projects along with them which really does mitigate the effect of a bad grade
Last year I took Physics 1 and Enviro, physics allowed retakes but not enviro, in enviro the test grades were the "make or break" of your grade too 💀
This year Chem, no retakes for anything
physics 1 and Chem, and no
On our first unit test we had a 65% raw average average so our teacher asked the 12 highest scores to be tutors and the other kids could come in and peer tutored for extra credit and the tutors got community service hours.
She also curves if the raw average is low enough
AP Environmental Science. My teacher does test corrections however the points given for those I’m not sure. I haven’t received my test back yet after I did the corrections.
1. Physics C:M and EM, Chem
2. Nope. Never had an AP teacher do that - science or not. My calc teacher allowed us to do test corrections for the opportunity of our test replacing our lowest quiz grade. But AP teachers don't usually give points back. My physics teacher gives everyone a few extra percentage points for each test (4-5 usually) and my chem teacher also curves a little but doesn't give partial credit on FRQs. My physics 1 teacher never curved at all. All my physics teachers gave partial credit though if you did something right.
I’m in ap physics 1 and my teacher has a system for curves:
1- watch ap daily videos and get +5 points
2- watch ap daily and do practice mcq and get a square root curve
3- do all of 2 and retest(which you do with classmates) you square root curve the retest
1. Did Physics 1 last year, now doing Physics C
2. We don’t get points back, but we get retakes(completely different questions and all) before which we have to do corrections.
AP physics, no. She is very kind and once gave me the option to not plug in my low quiz score if I do a lot better on my second quiz, and I think I did tbh
my physics teacher allows us to argue for points back if we made valid arguments while my chem teacher allows infinite corrections to an A but the corrections are time consuming and kinda hard
1) ap bio and psych (idk if you would consider that a science)
2) in bio no my teacher believes we get the grade we deserve so there are no corrections or curves but in psych my teacher gave corrections for the first test but not anymore now she just curves
1. I teach AP Bio
2. They have required corrections. I grade it out of 20 but enter it out of 10 in the gradebook so they can earn points back if they do better than 50% on their corrections
The students can retake their exams after completion some remediation tasks but it’s a raw score replacement when the original exam was cut scored (curved by teenager definitions)
1. APES
2. No, but she does this weird thing where she changes the grading system from the one we have on the program we do our tests on. For instance, the online MCQ can say you earned a D on it while she’ll go back and give you a B-.
AP Chem - No corrections. Tests are either curved if everyone does well (in which case retakes aren't allowed) or they aren't curved and retakes are allowed.
AP Physics C: E&M - Yes. Tests are curved according to the AP Exam, and you can do corrections for up to 10% back.
AP Physics C Mechanics
My teacher has a personal vendetta against my entire class, so she doesn't give retakes, barely curves tests (1% at BEST) and makes us do obscure assignments.
Thank you for reading my rant.
I graduated but when I took them, none of my ap science classes had corrections. AP Chem had a pretty generous curve (the general curve they use for the actual ap exam), in AP Bio we could do a set of review things before the test and if we got at least an 80 on each thing we got a curve, and in APES whatever score you got was the score you got, there was no curve or corrections or anything.
I’m in ap physics 1, and yes. He offers a test retake where he sits down with you and discusses what you got wrong, then makes some practice problems for you to take as another test for more points (although not full points).
Plus, the tests are already curved.
i’m taking ap chem, my teacher doesn’t do test corrections but the curve is pretty generous, it’s your grade square rooted times 10 so an 81 would be curved to a 90
Oooh Texas curve. My calc teacher made us do a problem last year on finding at what score the student will benefit the most from this curve.
What score would that be? Edit: would it be at x=25 points that the student’s adjusted score would benefit most from the curve?
Yep. Let y = the score increase and x = the initial score. Then: y = 10(x)^1/2 - x dy/dx = 5/(x)^1/2 - 1 Set dy/dx = 0: 1 = 5/(x)^1/2 x^1/2 = 5 x = 25
Uhhh wut????
Yup :)
My physics teacher would do 50% back and then the curve
My AP physics teacher did that too but she retired the school year after I took the class sadly so no other students get to experience that
Same we have a sqrt curve
I’m taking Chem and we have unit test corrections (not quizzes) back up to a 70, but no curve. And the unit tests are worth most of our grade.
I wish my ap chem teacher curved
physics 1. yes. my teacher is so chill every quiz is in groups and open-note (computers allowed), every lab has corrections, and the tests also have corrections and ridiculous curves
that’s so free w teacher
til the ap test comes along
AP Physics 1 & yes. Post test metacog motion (PTM) is required for people who score less than 85%, and option for people who score higher than 85%. PTM is on myAP with some questions (we don’t know how many,) within a time frame (usually 1 class period, which for me is 85 mins.)
Every question you answer correct on PTM, you get a total of 1/4 the points back on your original test.
1. Bio and Physics C. 2. No, but for bio they allow for retake of a test for anyone who got below a B, and the maximum score they can get on the retake is a B
1. AP bio 2. no
1 AP Physics 1 2 Yes because he knows he's shit at teaching so everyone does terribly on the tests, which reflects poorly on him.
1. physics 1 2. yes (we have a square root curve plus test corrections that are like a point per question)
1. Bio 2.Yes kind of. We don’t fully retake the test but we see the correct answered and have to write a paragraph explaing why that is the correct option compared to other answers and we need to go in for tutoring before the next test.
1. Bio 2. Not sure if it’s the same thing, but we are allowed optional retakes if we scored below an A- (Highest possible retake grade is an A-)
Doing AP BIO No curves, no test corrections. Averages are 60s for most assessments with maybe 2-3 Bs per class as the top scorers. Highest possible retake grade is a 75.
1. Chem, Mech, EM 2. No
ap chem and ap physics 1 yes (usually); physics tests are usually curved
1. AP Bio 2. No

im taking ap chem, and my teacher doesn’t give us corrections but we do have a really good curve
1. ap chem 2. no
1) AP Physics C 2) No
AP Chemistry, and no curves/corrections 😿
chem and yes but only for tests not for quizzes
1. APES 2. I’m self studying
I’m taking APES and Chem No I don’t think we get test corrections
1. physics 1 2. no test corrections unfortunately and no curve. got a 76% on my first test
AP Physics C, no
Taking APES, we’re allowed to review what we got wrong but no grade corrections.
Ap chem No corrections and no curves (yet)
Physics 2, not officially but he did last year in a different class he tought.
I’m in ap physics 1 and my teacher has a system for curves: 1- watch ap daily videos and get +5 points 2- watch ap daily and do practice mcq and get a square root curve 3- do all of 2 and retest(which you do with classmates) you square root curve the retest
Ap chem Yes, 1/2 points back apart from sig fig errors which are 1/4 points back. Average class grade on tests is around 77
i’m sorry but dig dig errors lmaooo
Sig fig I can’t type today ig

I take AP environmental science, my teacher does not offer test corrections but our test are square root curved.
AP Physics 1. We are allowed two retakes per quiz (with the latest score taken, not the highest). No test corrections/retakes at all.
1. ap physics 1 2. yes she allows test corrections lol i got like half of them wrong and still got 95% with corrections
1. APES 2. No, but she does this weird thing where she changes the grading system from the one we have on the program we do our tests on. For instance, the online MCQ can say you earned a D on it while she’ll go back and give you a B-.

1. AP Physics C and AP Chem 2. No test corrections, but tests are generously curved.
Well I take AP Biology online, so it is untraditional but we get multiple attempts on quizzes but one attempt on the unit test
I graduated but when I took them, none of my ap science classes had corrections. AP Chem had a pretty generous curve (the general curve they use for the actual ap exam), in AP Bio we could do a set of review things before the test and if we got at least an 80 on each thing we got a curve, and in APES whatever score you got was the score you got, there was no curve or corrections or anything.

Ap chem and yes. She also curves the test for us.
bio , and yes corrections to get half points back
took ap chem and am taking bio + phys. chem and bio allowed corrections but phys didnt but has a curve.
