Okay someone enlighten me here. I know the curve is anywhere from 70% to 75% of the total questions correct (this might be wrong…), but I keep hearing that there is a “cut off” for the FRQ section around 34/46 or something that if you’re below this, you’re not getting a 5. Is this true? Aren’t the FRQ and MC scores combined to be out of total 100 questions?
Lol exam was a friggin bloodbath. MC was difficult, FR was also but okat, better than usual!
Gahh I thought both sections were supposed to be relatively simple… But I messed up the simple conceptual ones. Guess I’m saying bye to a 5 on this exam 
Is it true that, on a free response question, if you score higher than the national average your score is weighted more heavily and you get extra points?
Personally I though the MCQ was decent, but I had to guess on 3 of them. The FRQs were relatively okay as well, but I didn’t get certain sections on some of them which probably hurt my score. I hope the curve is nice
Does anybody actually know how the grading works like I heard u can miss 50% on each section and still get a 3 and miss 25% and still get a 5 idk if this is tru tho so does anyone actually know??
@lethe0125 apcalculator.com indicates that 55 MC correct and 25/46 FRQ points is still a 5, so I doubt that’s true. If it is, then I am royally screwed.
Please let there be a nice curve this year. I got a 5 on all practice exams I took, but idk why this one was so much harder. Ughhhhhhhh
MC was death
FRQ was a blessing
I reaaally hope the FRQ saved me. I want a 5 so bad!
The exam wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. I got at most 15 wrong on mc (thinking conservative here) and above a 30/46 on the frqs. Hopefully that’s above a 4 and a good curve will give me a 5.
I always underestimate my scores as well 
But seriously… the MCQ… I did not know what I was doing for like 10 of them and I made “educated guesses” on another 10. The questions were so long I was blinded by them XD
Ya haha, I got confused on a few simple questions that just had a bunch of writing on the mc. I think I got the hard ones right though. The frqs were relatively easy, except for the first part of 6.
How much time did yall have to check your work for each section?
I had maybe 15-ish minutes for the MC, and 25-ish for the FRQ. FRQ was much more straightforward than I expected (except for #6, like you guys have pointed out)
My teacher skipped over metallic properties (or I fell asleep during that chapter) so I blanked out on I think #4. I stared at #2 for too long because I didn’t know what the FRQ was talking about. I skipped the last parts of #1, #2, and #4 I think.
I thought I knew what I was doing for the free response… then I hit #6. :))
I finished the multiple choice with 20 minutes to spare… the format says 60 questions, i know I got at least 42 right… free response I have no idea. Lot more straightforward than last year (I also took the exam last year & got a 4), overall though nothing I haven’t seen before. Harder than practice tests though…
Please collegeboard have a forgiving curve, I just want my 5
I also took last year’s and got a 4. But IMO this was way easier (that’s being relative though, I didn’t think it was easy per se). Although I have to admit when I took last year’s test I didn’t really study much and I crammed for today lol
that wasn’t too bad. I definitely think i got at least a 4, if not a 5 just based on what some of the people on reddit are saying.
I had like 15 minutes to check mc and 10 to check the frqs. I hope that I didn’t make any dumb mistakes on the open ended.
The multiple choice was TRAGIC, I hope the curve is really low because I feel like I did so bad there. :((
The FRQ’s were fairly simple, but everyone’s saying that so I wonder if the curve will be high…
Dear God don’t tell me I’m the only one who found MC easier than the FRQs…
