<p>i have an econ final coming up, and it's going to be based on and graded as an actual AP econ test. does anyone know what the grading curve is for the AP econ (macro) test -- what percentage is a 5, 4, etc.?</p>
<p>I'd like to know this, too. Also for Micro</p>
<p>ditto. anyone know either? i looked on collegeboard.com and couldn't find anything at all about it =(</p>
<p>For our AP Micro test (which was from 2001), it was 71-90 for a 5. I don't remember what you needed to get for a 4, 3, or 2 (obviously, you only need 0 to get a 1).</p>
<p>In my AP Macro book it says 68-90 is usually the range for a 5.</p>
<p>that test was easy:) you guys should have no problem doing well on it.</p>
<p>yay, thats great to know. thanks! =)</p>

lol...out of about 90 kids last year at my school, no one got a 5. the year before that, in the class with all the geniuses, only 2 out of about 90 got a 5. prospects aren't looking good for me...</p>
<p>is the essay part uber hard? cuz few ppl are freaking me out by saying if you dun have a verbal of 600+, i'm gonna die</p>
<p>Mostly everyone gets 5's around here, but that could be accredited to good teaching, too. Get a review book if you are unsure of how you'll do. For the essays there are only a limited amount of possiblities they can ask you about, you know what I mean? Anyway, the isn't a HUGE amount of material on the test, so maybe that's why I found it manageable and scored a 5:).</p>
<p>i think it depends a lot on your teacher, since the AP review books i've looked at don't go into a lot of detail about a lot of the theories, policies, etc. and they also don't show you how a lot of stuff in econ can be reasoned out with logic even if you forgot to memorize a formula or chain of events. i know at my school we have a super teacher who's been teaching it forever, and i think all but maybe 10 of the 100 kids who took it last year got 4/5. </p>
<p>oh and btw, i had my exam this morning; not too hard, but it was definitely nice to go in there knowing i had a buffer zone of 20%. thanks, guys!!</p>

<p>What the hell are they talking about? You barely need to know English for the essay part. If you wrote two word phrases throughout the exam and drew a lot of graphs you'd probably could get a max score.</p>
