AP Calculus BC Score Breakdown

<p>Can someone give me the raw score breakdown for the AP Calculus BC exam - as in what raw scores (out of 108) translate to a 5 (also 4, 3, 2, and 1) on the test?</p>

<p>I can only give you that AB scores are 60 for a 5, 45-46 for a 4, and either 28-30 for a 3. I don't remember the other ones, and I can only tell you to draw conjectures for BC Cal from that - I'd imagine that you'd get a curve that was somewhat more lenient.</p>

<p>Look at the AP test forum.</p>

<p>Wow that sounds easy! Is it multiple choice -- fingers crossed?</p>

<p>There are six free response (some calculator, some no calculator) and 45 multiple choice (some calculator, some no calculator). It sounds easy, but it's not. They weight it so only a certain number of people get fives, etc. Just because you only need a 60 doesn't mean it's easy- it just means that not many people got over a 60.</p>

<p>And the multiple choice aren't necessarily easy, either. They're just like full length problems, you just don't have to write down any work.</p>

<p>So what if I got a 52 ?</p>

<p>I'd guess either a 4 or a 5.</p>

<p>But, like I said earlier, the numbers I got were for AB (and I didn't make this clear earlier - sorry about that) and were just the minima for what you need for those particular scores, according to the 2003 exam. It varies (not widely) from year to year.</p>
