<p>Appass.com allows you to guesstimate your AP scores based on prior ap exam results. </p>
<p>@Marrissa You’re teacher like many on collegeconfidential misuses the term curve. Curve means analyzing the scores on a test and boosting them to a certain extent and manipulating them in order to get results the grader wants. Like in most college courses, professors want a high percentage of Bs to show fairness but still make the class reasonably passable. So, if the actual average was a D then the professor might liberally raise all the scores to meet his B preference. AP exams are done differently, the markers are set beforehand (a 5 may be set at 73/90) before anybody even takes their exams and then you just simply fall into the category you fall into. There is no manipulation done to pull the percentages in a certain way which is why Trevor referenced the Chinese scores which are in the high 80% indicating that there is no curving of people’s test scores. When people misuse curve they are meaning to say cutoffs. For example, instead of “the curve was very generous this year” it is by far more accurate to say “the cutoffs were set much lower this year than usual”.</p>
<p>@jimmyboy23 thanks for clarifying, that’s makes perfect sense!</p>
<p>Can’t wait for the 5th</p>
<p>ugh i have to wait until the 8th… last year i used a fake ip address to check my scores early but i didnt end up doing so well on bio so this year im just gonna stick it out and wait :P</p>
<p>I applied for a dual enrollment program and got all my scores early 
I got a 5 on calc! I was convinced I had scored a 4, so all you people freaking out about getting a 4 vs. a 5, chances are you probably got a 5. It’s something like 40% of test takers get 5s, right?</p>
<p>I am ready for my scores</p>
<p>I need a 5 on the ab exam to get credit and My advisor told me I got credit for the AB exam! Seriously I thought I straight up failed I even drew a whale on one of the questions on the free response…</p>
<p>lol @echan527 you drew a whale? haha the ap calculus curve is pretty generous for both ab and bc so you probably did moderately well on the other frqs and the mc</p>
<p>Can’t believe I got a 5. I had 2 hours of sleep when I took the exam , was sick that whole week, and puked before school that day. Bragging rights for life!!!</p>
<p>I also am VERY happy with my APUSH 4. </p>
<p>How did you guys think you did in multiple choice?</p>
<p>@mmj133 pretty sure I aced it except for one question</p>
<p>@mmj133 pretty sure I aced it except for one question</p>
<p>@alekya97 it was quite I detailed haha but seriously I kinda gave up on the FRQ about the grass clippings (you can find my whale there)…like I blanked. Although I did feel confident in my other FRQs</p>
<p>@mmj133 MC was really easy…even more so when we were allowed to use our calculators haha </p>
<p>Got a 4 so I am pretty happy, how did everyone else do?</p>
<p>For those who got a 4/5 on AP CALCULUS BC, what prep book did you use and what other material for studying?</p>
<p>also, for those with a 4, what else do you think you could’ve/should’ve done to get the 5?</p>
<p>a 5 :D</p>
<p>Practiced a ■■■■ ton of FRQs on the weeks leading up the test, that was the main reason.</p>
<p>Just began taking Calc BC on Florida Virtual School. All of the lessons are video based and after looking at some of them throughout the course, they seem really good. Wish me luck </p>
<p>Got a 5. I don’t think I answered a single question incorrectly because the test was essentially a complete joke. All you need to do to prepare is pay attention during your actual Calc. class and learn the material that way. I also suggest doing some of the past FRQ questions just to get a sense of the format and grading system of the test, but overall, if you’re good at math you should get a 5 with ease.</p>
<p>I got a 5 on BC with 5 AB subscore and I can honestly tell you I didn’t use prep books at all. I am a math person and the calc came easily to me, but what really helped me was doing FRQs. I timed myself for a complete FRQ section (1 every two days, and then increasing it to 1 per day a week before the exam) and scoring myself and correcting my mistakes. My teacher also gave us a ton of FRQ practice and also some MC practice quizzes and those helped as well. I used prep books for multiple choice and found that they were not similar at all to the exam - i would recommend not spending the money because if you are good at calc and simply need practice they are kind of useless.</p>
