[nabs-l] question about AP testing

[Miso Kwak]

I have taken AP European History exam in 2011.
My test was in Braille and had different questions compared to my 
classmates' at school.
As Emily mentioned some of questions were taken out of the test. If I 
remember correctly, in the beginning of the test booklet or on the 
proctor's manual, it states that the elimination of some questions 
won't be neither advantage nor disadvantage.
I received my scores later than my classmates but I believe the test 
was scored fairly.
A funny thing about my AP Euro exam, however, was that my score got 
modified 2 years later.
I did not request anything. A mail just randomly came stating that the 
College Board found a mistake on grading my multiple choice portion and 
as a result my score has been changed.
I have not gone through this process myself, but I know that you can 
ask College Board to re-score your multiple choice. I believe it costs 
a fee though.
According to a friend of mine, they will not re-score your frq. Just 
multiple choice.
Best regards
Miso Kwak

Hi,
I noticed that, at least with the AP tests I took my senior year, I got 
the
makeup additions from the previous year. I received them in Braille, 
and I
got extended time.
Additionally, regarding the AP Euro test, I know my sighted    peers 
had to
answer some questions related to maps, or even questions regarding 
pictures
of architecture styles from different eras. Those questions were taken 
out
of my test, and they didn't count against me. I didn't discover that 
until
test day, but that's how it was.
