<p>I've decided to take the AP Bio test along with the IB HL Bio test because...well, I'm not really sure why, since only one or the other is needed for credit. </p>
<p>So. I've just taken a practice test for the MULTIPLE CHOICE only, and I got 59% of them right. I've been told that assuming the essays are ok, it's possible to get a 5 with 60-65% of the MC. </p>
<p>How well do you need to do with the essays to get a 3? 4?</p>
<p>Well the test is out of 150 points.. with the MC being 90 and the essays being 60..</p>
<p>So take .59 x 90 = 53.1, it takes about 90/150 to score a 5.. </p>
<p>Therefore you need, 37 / 60 on the essays. Which would be scoring about 25/40 on the FR or 6.25 pt avg.</p>
<p>That is to be on the 90/150 line though.. it fluxuates from year to year. Hope for a MC of about 65% or higher to be on the safe side if you write really good essays!</p>
<p>Wow....I didn't know there was such a huge curve. Out of 150, how many points do I need for a 3 or a 4?</p>
<p>70 points is the minimum for 4... 58 for a 3</p>
