All AP exams are graded together by AP teachers and college professors from across the nation. After the initial grading, raw scores are curved to get the 1-5 scale that the student and college receives. This means that the number of correct answers needed to earn a specific score varies from year to year. It also means that school administrators cannot influence a particular student's score. As [[Jerry Jessness]] wrote, "No student, not even a star athlete, can negotiate a higher grade on an A.P. exam."<ref> [http://www.reason.com/news/show/31070.html Why Johnny Can't Fail]: How the "[[floating standard]]" has destroyed public education</ref>
