AP Bio Scoring

<p>I've looked around and can't find a thread.</p>

<p>How is AP Bio scored, and what do you need to get to receive a 5?</p>

<p>i dunno, but it seems that in most APs you need at most 80%</p>

<p>sigh...no one knows?</p>

<p>u need a minimum of 94 out of a maximum 150 to recieve a 5 with mc counting as .75 and freeresponse (4 questions worth 10 pts each) counting as 1.25</p>

<p>that doesn't make sense...100 mc x .75 = 75
40pts total frq x 1.25 = 50
= 125 not 150..</p>

<p>There used to be 125 questions, thats why.</p>

<p>it is 100 x .9, then add 40 x 1.5 to get 150. That is the max. Whoever said 80% is crazy. in 1999, a 94/150 got you a 5. The cruve was higher in 2003. Its usually 60-65% to get a 5. You multiply the essays by 1.5, by the way. 60% (90/150) is multiple choice, and 40% (60-150) is FR.</p>
