<p>For a 5 how many points are required?</p>
<p>Helloo???</p>
<p>91/150 but this year they raise its multiplier so it could be 93/94</p>
<p>What do you mean “raise its multiplier”?</p>
<p>The way it is set up for the MC is [# right - (# wrong/4)] x Constant (it used to be .9 but it was raised to .9278 this year) = MC score. The requirement for a 5 is always about one point higher than the highest possible score on the MC. This year, the highest score is a 93, so I would assume a 94/150 is the level for a 5.</p>
<p>But doesn’t that just mean there will be fewer multiple choice questions? I know in 2003 they only used 97, calling for a greater multiplier. The curve should stay the same as long as the exam continues to be out of 150.</p>
<p>Well they often change the amount used, I am sure if they only use 97 then it is 91/150.</p>
<p>Well no because the multiple choice questions always account for 60% of the grade, which is 90/150. Unless you are saying they raise the total of the entire points possible for the test?</p>
<p>Well how about we put it this way YOU NEED A 91 OR AT LEAST GREATER THAN 60% ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?!?! AND IT DOESNT MATTER BECAUSE YOUR SCORE WILL NEVER TOUCH MINE ON THIS.</p>
<p>That is what I thought.</p>
<p>What- I’m trying to study for my AP history test, thank you! What do you mean “your score will never touch mine on this”?</p>
<p>You will never be able to even match my APES score.</p>
<p>Well we don’t really know that, do we???
And even if it’s true, I don’t really care. I’m self-studying it and have been scoring 5’s on my practice tests.</p>
<p>I have been getting 96s on MC. You really can’t touch me. I am an environmental science prodigy, which really isnt that hard at all.</p>
<p>I’ve been getting like 75’s which is good enough for a 5 therefore good enough for me. Let’s stop this little argument because it’s seriously distracting me from studying.</p>
<p>Could any body explain this for me?
So the 150 points is the total points MC + FRQ?
Or is it just MC alone?
I am confused…</p>
<p>150 is MC + FRQ, the highest raw score you can get on MC is 90, you need a 91/150 for a 5</p>
<p>Thanks! I got it now.</p>
<p>^Yes but don’t listen to what he was saying earlier about how when the multiplier changes, the point range for a 5 changes. The multiple choice will always be out of 90 so if the multiplier changes, it only means there are fewer or more multiple choice questions. Just saying.</p>
<p>My teacher said that you need approximately above a 75 to score a 5 on the exam on the MC, assuming that your essays are decent. A 60 to a 75 on the MC is about a 4.</p>
