Here is how the ACPAC Board will grade candidate survey responses for the 2012-2013 cycle.

There are a total of seven (7) questions on the survey.  Each response will be assigned a grade on a scale of 1 to 7 by the Board.   We then add the total points from the survey and then assign a letter grade to that candidate based upon the responses using the criteria below.

It is possible for a candidate to not be in favor of a particular issue and still get an "A" grade or even an endorsement from Arkansas Carry PAC.
