<p>I agree with jamesford. The AP exam curve will not change much.</p>
<p>From what I recall reading around the time I took my Calc AB and Psych exams, getting about 70% of available marks should let you squeak by for a 5. However, I like to play it on the safe side and get more than that. Fingers crossed for when the results come in the mail… :X</p>
<p>One thing’s for sure: These AP Exams are a hell of a lot tougher to ace (i.e. 90%+) than the normal exams I take.</p>
<p>dd took gov (5) and Eng (4)…surprised because she felt really unprepared for the free choice in gov and felt good about English…needed the 5 in gov to get credit but only a 4 in english for credit so go figure!</p>
<p>i ended up getting a 4 on my ap test and i didnt even write one of the essays basically. so i guess the curve is very generous</p>
<p>The curve is always going to be generous.</p>
<p>Think about it: 67% on most AP tests is equivalent to an A (5) while you would generally need 90+% for an A on the typical HS exam.</p>
<p>What is the bio curve like? How many m.c. right for a 5? I think i did well on the essays except for 2 parts of different questions. I think i skipped like 13 m.c. so i didn’t get 1/4 point off.</p>
<p>yes…AP CHEM was so effing hard…we have an excellent teacher and some very intelligent students…ugh…so much hard work for a year…and a killer test</p>
<p>How’d you guys get your scores already? Were they mailed to you or did you have to call in?</p>
<p>good to hear the english curve is generous lol</p>
<p>they started mailing them this week. they start from the west coast to the east so it depends on where you live</p>
<p>4 in bio…is that good? I was a sophmore when I took it last school year.</p>
<p>West to East, huh?</p>
<p>Waiting here in the Midwest…</p>
<p>Going out of town Sunday…</p>
<p>I’m in Vancouver, so I wonder when they’ll arrive…</p>
<p>Probably sometime in the next week. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>Redmondo</p>
<p>i am in vancouver
last year they came around 16th or so for me…
not too long</p>
<p>I took Calc AB, US History, Lit/Comp, Lang/Comp, Chinese, Chem, and Bio, and I got all 5s.
I felt like the curves on Chem and Bio were probably pretty generous this year, because I had felt the least confident after taking those two out of all of my tests. But then again, I did study pretty hard for both, and I haven’t compared scores with my friends yet, so maybe I was just in post-test shock at the time.</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten a 5 in Calc BC without really doing the last problem (taylor series) correctly?</p>
<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I’m in Toronto and I got my results on the 10th. But it may take longer for Vancouverites since you guys are farther west.</p>
<p>I felt the Bio and Chem beltcurves were very generous too. I remember not answering at least 15 questions on the M/C for Chem, yet I still got a 5.</p>
<p>I heard the US curve was good this year. but i didnt take it so im not sure</p>
<p>catalan,then you must have done really really well on the free response part ;)</p>
<p>I called because I just couldn’t wait. I took English Language (5), USH (5), and Bio (4). The bio curve must have been insane because I honestly didn’t learn anything all year and got a 4. And I left a lot blank on the multiple choice, so I got really lucky.</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t know about the rest of you, but on the AP US History one, the DBQ was totally killer. I opened up that page and totally spaced. Slavery… Well, it was one of the hardest prompts because I couldn’t do my standard formatting. But I still got a 5 :D</p>
