A tool used to estimate the probable score on the Advanced Placement World History exam based on a student’s predicted performance across different sections, it assists in forecasting the final grade. For instance, if a student anticipates achieving a specific number of points on the multiple-choice section, document-based question, and long essay questions, this instrument provides an approximate overall score on the standardized 1-5 AP scale.
The use of such a prediction device is significant for several reasons. It can aid students in gauging their readiness for the actual examination, potentially motivating further study in areas of weakness. Furthermore, it provides educators with a means to assess the effectiveness of their teaching methods and identify concepts where students require additional support. Historically, the development of these evaluative resources has been driven by the need for greater transparency and predictability within the AP program.
