<p>I have read at several places that if you score in AP Chem examroughly 66-70% (~100/150), you get 5. How this 66-70% correlates to your high school score of say 85% (B)? Say, if a student is scoring in tough high school class tests, say 80%, can anybody tell me if he/she has a high chance of getting 5 (~67%) in AP chem exam?</p>
<p>If your class follows the CB syllabus closely (or is even tougher than the CB version) and you do a small amount of studying, it should be like this:</p>
<p>A - 5
B - 4
C - 3
D - 2
F - 1</p>
<p>Does that mean >67% is AP Exams is > 90.0 in class exams?</p>
<p>You can’t compare them. In class tests cover a narrow range of topics, while the AP test covers everything from the beginning of the school year, so it is easier to get higher scores on in class tests. In addition, tests in class vary in difficulty from teacher to teacher; they are not standardized like the AP exams are and thus comparing exams is meaningless.</p>
<p>well, i know that you can’t compare. But in most good schools, AP chem class tests should, & must be as tough/easy as AP EXAMS. End of April, most good high school AP exams give a complete comprehensive exams covering both sem 1 and sem 2 and may be similar way as in real AP Chem exams. I still believe something is missing.</p>
<p>Gosh I wish it was that easy that it went by your grade. I have a 97 in Chem for the year but when I look at exam questions I am baffled. We have a bad history in chem; last year 9 students took the test, one passed… with a 3. If I do get a 3 I will be ecstatic. Plenty of studying in the coming month and a half is dearly needed.</p>
