I’m taking AP Euro in the 2012-2013 school year, and I just bought REA’s Crash Course book. I started reading it like 10 minutes ago, and it says that you need to get 126 points out of 180 for a 5.
I remember reading somewhere on CC that you only needed a 120 or something like that for a 5, so if anybody knows the current AP Euro grading scale, please let me know!!</p>
<p>It changes year by year but it usually remains around the same so it makes perfect sense that in one year where the exam was particularly easy that the curve be higher and the same goes if it is lower. Hope this helped.</p>
<p>I know this is kinda off topic but just so you know make good use of Crash Course book. This prep book is AMAZING. I self studied for AP Euro the past year and it was not enough. I bought the Crash Course a week before the test, BS thru the exam but still got a 4. 
Good luck!</p>
