AP English Lit Scoring

Test Preparation
1

<p>A few questions to anyone that might know...</p>

<p>Does anyone have a rough idea of how you have to do on the multiple choice and essays to get a 5? (Judging on years past anyway.)
How stringently are the essay's graded?
If I wrote my open question on a book that was a tough fit for the prompt, how much would that hurt?</p>

<p>Basically I'm looking at somewhere around 45-48 right, 7-10 wrong on multiple choice (out of 55). My essays were about 2 pages each with good analysis on the prose and poetry. Possible 7's? Then my open question wasn't too great; I wrote on Hamlet. Maybe a 6? About where will that come in terms of scoring?</p>

<p>Last year's curve:
5 108-160
4 91-107
3 70-90</p>

<p>Your curve doesn't make any sense. The maximum amount of points you can get is 150.</p>

4

<p>That's not too bad. 45 right 10 wrong + 7/7/5 is a 5. Let's just hope that the essay tally is certainly no lower than that =p. How many people usually get perfect scores on that test?</p>
