Ok, so I read somewhere that you can get a 0 on an AP exam - is that just if you write nothing, or are there specific things that can get you a 0?

Hello there! I certainly understand why you might be curious about AP exam scoring. To clarify, it's quite rare and quite difficult to get a score of 0 on an AP exam. Typically, scores range from 1 to 5, with 1 being the lowest possible score that indicates the student likely wasn't prepared for the level of the content on the exam. A 0 score is theoretically possible but would likely result from a violation of the College Board's exam policies, such as cheating or filling out the answer sheet incorrectly. Simply leaving an exam blank or providing incorrect answers would usually result in a score of 1, not 0. If you follow the testing rules and attempt to answer the questions, you shouldn't need to worry about receiving a 0. Best of luck on your AP exams!
