AP Psych Fall Semester MOCK AP EXAM Results

Great job everyone! 
Really remarkable work. Overall every class had an average over 60. 

 Fifth period won with a score of 65.76%. And every student in fifth period is taking the AP Exam. That's awesome. 

Keep these scores in perspective. 

 Typically a 70% is a GREAT score on the multiple choice. 

 For example:

Link to AP Pass Calculator

That's a very rough estimate. But if you have a 70% or above, your work on the FRQs will only take a passing grade higher. Obviously, you need to do well on the FRQ questions to get a great score though.
