<p>thorps517 - Curve is set after they find out how well everybody did.</p>
<p>indianbasketball - NO DISCUSSING FREE RESPONSE QUESTIONS UNTIL 48 HOURS AFTER TEST (not my rule, but Collegeboard's rule and this forum's rule).</p>
<p>azure- </p>
<p>45 x 1.2 = 54
3 x 6 = 18
____
72</p>
<p>more like a 5?</p>
<p>I thought the MC was really easy. I skipped 2, but I was confident about the rest. The FRQ on the other hand...I thought part A was ridiculously hard but part B wasn't that great either.</p>
<p>If I got 38ish/45 on the MC
and 24ish/36 on the FR...</p>
<p>What would my score be?</p>
<p>opps. I thought you could discuss the free response. Sorry for that.</p>
<p>If each section is 50%, that gives me around a 75% (average 67 and 84), right? Is that a 5?</p>
<p>ahhh yeah. I didn't really panic during the test, but I'll concur with everyone else here and say the FR was really hard. Everyone I talked to was pretty shell-shocked over it too. I heard BC was better, and since at least 3/4 of my school takes that instead of AB, it's going to be pretty sad when we get our scores unless we get a huge curve. </p>
<p>I personally skipped three on the 1st MC part, which actually probably was the most frustrating for me personally. Idk about you guys, but our proctor didn't do time stuff AT ALL for the 1st section, and I forgot to time myself, so I got pretty stressed out for the 2nd half of it because I kept thinking time was almost up. -.-;</p>
<p>2nd MC part was pretty good...I actually thought the first FR was harder than the second one, but maybe that was because my brain actually started kicking in by the end. My calculator chose halfway through the calc MC to start telling me it was low on batteries, go figure. Fortunately it didn't actually die :P</p>
<p>Basically, let's hope for a huge curve and lots of luck on our side.</p>
<p>sishu,</p>
<p>38 - 2 for wrong answers = 36
36 x 1.2 = 43.2</p>
<p>free response is out of 54, not 36. assuming u meant 24/54,
43 + 24 = 67, 7-8 shy from a 5.</p>
<p>I meant an average of 4/6 per question... thouh it might have been more like a 3.5. Am I way confused? Is it out of 9 per question? in that case, I probably got around a 35ish. Is that good enough for a 5?</p>
<p>Sorry I definitely thought it was out of 6 per question. My brain must just be fried after taking that test:)</p>
<p>well then sishu</p>
<p>MC = 36 x 1.2 = 43
FR = 35
________
78, def a 5</p>
<p>note that a 5 is between 66-70 acc. to wiki, but ive heard more like 74 some places.</p>
<p>Wow... now I just hope I did as well as I think:)</p>
<p>wiki says 75 makes a 5...</p>
<p>It varies by year. I think the cutoff will be lower this year -- maybe in the 60's.</p>
<p>Hopefully its the 60s. If so, I would definitely get a 5!</p>
<p>"The AP test is scored out of a total of 108 points, of which only about 66-70 are required to earn a score of 5, with the exact amount varying from year to year"</p>

<p>"The approximate curves for a 5 are a raw score of 75 for the AB test and 65 for the BC test."

<p>interesting....</p>
<p>What do u presume would be the % for a 3?.... i really bombed the mc</p>
<p>m/c was good. i skipped two only, one from each section
so im thinking to myself as i see the FR "ok u got this its just like in class"
i look at it and think "..."
i wanted to cry LOL
since majority of people thought FR was hard, theres gonna be a MIGHTY generous curve</p>
<p>wth it was hard fr dude</p>
<p>I'm glad to hear pretty much everyone here thought the FRQ were hard. I was sad that there were some sections in questions that I couldn't solve at all..glad to know I wasn't the only one. Hopefully there'll be a nice curve?</p>
