<p>What is the minimum percentage needed on the multiple choice for a 5? How difficult is this exam compared to other AP exams ( like Calculus AB, UShistory or Chemistry)?</p>
<p>Oh BTW is Barron's prepbook enough or do I need an actual textbook for a solid 5?</p>
<p>Dont mean to hijack your thread but would you guys recommend going throgh the whole textbook again ( have personally forgotten the stuff I did in the first semester ) or would the barrons prepbook be enough?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Since I have the book ill post
MC points (out of 90) and grade dist
76- 90 = 100% 5
61-75 = 1.2% 4 and 98.8% 5
46-60 = 2.3% 3, 39.2% -4 and 58.3% 6
31-45 = 2.1% 2, 48.1% 3, 1.7% 4 and 0 5's</p>
<p>5 = 11.2
4 = 16.8
3 = 29.3
2 = 15.1</p>
<p>can you explain what is meant by 1.2% 4 and 98.8 % 5 (61-75)</p>
<p>I was told by my Physics teacher that if you get above 60% of the material on the test right then you get a 5.</p>
<p>On the multiple choice, if you get that many points, last years or two years ago people, they would score in the 5 say 98% of the time, and the other 2% would get a 4. And as the multiple choice score went down, so did there 1-5 grade. So, it basically says if you do real good on the multiple choice, you will get a 5 or a 4.</p>
<p>"I was told by my Physics teacher that if you get above 60% of the material on the test right then you get a 5."</p>
<p>I think that's for the Physics C exam. I'm not sure Physics B's curve will be as lenient because the material is slightly easier (ie no calculus)</p>
<p>physics B is arround 68-70%</p>
<p>I thought it was considered a harder test because of the immense amount of material that is ocvered and learned in such a short period of time.</p>
<p>well true but its not that much material. Other than the Kinematics portion, the light, sound, and thermodynamics aren't too bad.</p>
<p>I think I read somewhere that it's around 75% raw score is a 5, so to be sure, probably need to make sure and get 80% of everything.</p>

<p>If I get a 76 on MC portion, will I get a 5 if I get a 0 on the free response? How much do I need in the free response to get a 5?</p>
<p>If you get 76/90, you're not gonna get a 0. If you do...you don't deserve a good score, to be honest. That would mean you got really lucky on the MC.</p>
<p>I just want to know how many points I need on the free response a long with a 76 from the MC portion.</p>
<p>I'm going through the Giancoli book and one of the things mentioned about linear momentum is finding center of mass for body parts. Will the AP exam ask you to find the center of mass for body parts (Chapter 7 section 9)</p>
<p>Also, do we need to know how equations are derived?</p>

<p>No.. My professor told me that the AP exam will not test students on Center of Mass..</p>
<p>Can anyone answer my question on how to go about reviewing?</p>
<p>I was looking through the Barron's book, and I took notes, and all I really took notes on were the equations. Do you think this could get me a 4 or 5? I sort of can apply it; I know I need it.</p>
