AP Econ percentage needed for a 5

<p>What percentage of the test do you need to get right to get a 5? Like percent of answers correct. Not the percentage of people who get a 5. Thank you.</p>

<p>good question, bump.</p>

<p>bump. I really want to know this too.</p>

<p>Can't imagine it being very different from the other exams, around 2/3 of the possible points.</p>

<p>According to the REA USH book, you only do need about 2/3 of the possible points to get a 5, which translates to roughly 65%. In most classes, that's like a D, but in the AP exam, it's an A!</p>

<p>2/3 = how many questions do I need to answer correctly in order to achieve this?</p>

<p>nbachris, i'm talking about the macroecon test, not the USH one. does anyone have a definite answer? a past test taker maybe?</p>

<p>The curve is fairly standard for most tests. It is usually 65% on Calculus BC, 65% on USH, so most likely from 60-70% for ME.</p>

<p>I think that is ironic and funny at the same time...the fact that the raw percentage is like barely passing, while the grade equivalent is like extremely passing.</p>

<p>But considering the mean is still a 3.... They have good reason to curve it.</p>
