<p>Anybody know of an estimate?</p>
<p>I know it varies year to year, but i heard that getting a 3 is around 60% on the MC?</p>

<p>thanks alot</p>
<p>i was hoping for a 4....and i really have a good chance according to the scale</p>
<p>From the 2004 test:
80 MC questions total,
1 Required DBQ,
choose one essay out of 3 in Part B
choose one essay out of 3 in Part C</p>
<p>Section 1: _________<strong><em>(Number correct out of 80) - _</em></strong>___(.25xnumber wrong) x 1.1250 = Weighted Section 1 Score.</p>
<p>Section 2:
Question 1: __<strong><em>(out of 9) x 4.5000 =</em></strong><strong><em>(Do not round)
Question 2: _</em></strong><strong><em>(out of 9) x 4.5000 =</em></strong>_<strong><em>(Do not round)
Question 3: _</em></strong><strong><em>(out of 9) x 4.5000 =</em></strong>_____(Do not round)</p>
<p>Composite Score:<strong><em>(Weighted Section I score) + _</em></strong><em>(Weighted section II score)=</em>___(Composite score rounded to nearest whole number)</p>
<p>Composite Score Range AP Grade
121-180 = 5
99-120 = 4
67-98 = 3
49-66 = 2
0-48 = 1</p>
<p>That's exactly right.</p>
<p>As you can see, you need way less than half the available points just to pass. If only it was like that in school.</p>
<p>ah....the second scale is considerably harder.</p>
<p>still, it is a bit easy to get a good score, especially a 3.</p>
