Submission 1

My Score: 5/6

College Board's Score: 4/6

Reflection

Discrepancies: In terms of scoring, I had given this submission a total score of 5/6, while College Board graded it a 4/6. Both College Board and myself agreed upon a lack of managing complexity. Where I was mistaken was when I was grading the program purpose and function. For the criteria of the written portion, I had thought that the submission checked all of the boxes. College Board took a point off due to a lack of actually explaining the purpose of the program - rather the submission only explained the function.

What my program will need: My program will need to meet all of the criteria, leaving no possibilities of mistake. This is due to the fact that even if a single point is marked off, then the entire submission will be graded a 0. For example, Submission 1 was missing the explanation of the purpose of their program and program management that was not as efficient as College Board had wanted - resulting in an F/Fail.

Why the submission may have failed: The submission may have failed because College Board took a point off due to a lack of actually explaining the purpose of the program - rather the submission only explained the function. Additionally, the use of program management was lackluster, which also invoked a 0/1 from College Board.

Submission 2

My Score: 6/6

College Board's Score: 6/6

Discrepancies: There were no differences between the score College Board gave and I gave. We each graded the submission 6/6. This made sense, as this submission followed each and every one of the requirements from the rubric.

What my program will need: I would need to follow all of the criteria on the rubric provided by College Board just as in second submission. The submission features a lot of detail in the answers of the written portion, perhaps there was more detail than was asked for/necessary. This is good to keep in mind as I will make sure to be very precise and detailed in my answers for the actual AP Test.

Why the submission did not fail: This submission met each and every criteria as well as additional information, leaving no door open for failure.
