<p>Hey guys. I was wondering...how many questions do you hav to get right on the BC test to get a 5?</p>
<p>well...i think you need about 65% of the test correct. how many points is each MC?</p>
<p>1 point i think</p>
<p>i think you need 65 points. it's out of 108. does anyone know how many points for a four?</p>
<p>umm...so how do they calculate your total raw score? some weird formula?</p>
<p>Its like (# of MC right) x 1.2 added to (# of points from FRQ)....54 from each part, adding up to a total of 108. Thats how the 2003 exam we took worked, anyways.</p>
<p>What was the lowest cutoff ever for a 5 on the BC exam? Today's R version of the BC exam was really difficult. I hope this year's cutoff for a 5 will go down to something like 60 instead of usual 65 or 66.</p>
<p>you needed 64/108 in 2003, but i think this year will be less. The Section II A was rediculous.</p>
<p>^ru serious? I thought it was 72-108 for a five. Thats what my teacher graded it as</p>
<p>what about a 3?</p>
<p>Aren't the test forms R and Q the same except for the MC order?</p>
<p>I had R, too and I found the MC to be fairly simple. I probably made stupid mistakes though and got 4-5 wrong. Some of the FRQs on the other hand were fairly difficult, although the ones that weren't difficult were extremely easy. For both parts in section 2, I found the first two questions easy and the last one difficult.</p>

<p>(No. Correct) ___________ </p>
<p>That seems kind of high to me.
The scale looks more like the AB scale.</p>
<p>I think the five range is 70ish (others are saying it 65) to 108.</p>
<p>From what my teacher has told us, the highest ever minimum for a 5 was a 72. Or maybe a 74. One of those, I forget. And the lowest min he knows was a 64. Since most people seem to agree that the FR were really tough, I'm guessing it will be around 65-66.</p>
<p>the free response for bc was pretty easy.. except for the beastly number 6 which i lost all 9 points on.</p>
<p>I thought numbers 4,5, and 6 were really easy.</p>
<h1>1a and b were easy, #1c was hard.</h1>
<h1>2 was really easy.</h1>
<p>"I know for a fact that last year's (2005) minimum score for a 5 was 65 for BC and 63 for AB; one of my school's Calculus AB teacher is an AP reader and he told my BC class that."</p>
<p>Part I of the MC gave me confidence, which was somewhat but not completely shattered by Part II (especially the last 5 questions). What's up with slope fields and Euler's method?!? I self-taught myself BC, and I didn't see that once. Princeton review didn't have it, I think.
I'm not expecting a great BC score, but I hope the AB subscore will be a 4 or 5. Does anybody know how they get the AB score from the BC test?</p>
