Unfortunately, it appears that the scoring guidelines for the AP Calculus AB exam prior to 1998 are lost forever. You may be able to find old copies of exams with the scoring guidelines in them, but it is unlikely that you will be able to find the official scoring guidelines that were released by the College Board. The College Board only keeps records of exams back to 1998, so it is unlikely that they would have the documents that you are looking for. Your best bet would be to try and contact people who took the exam before 1998 and see if they have any copies of the scoring guidelines.
