AP US History Multiple Choice Curve

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I've been doing my final studying for the APUSH, and I have a question. In doing both old AP tests (MC section) and the questions in the AMSCO book, I tend to get about 85-90% of the questions correct. Having done very well in class, I have no qualms about the essays or the DBQ. </p>

<p>While I understand that on every test the curve changes for the multiple choice, what approximate Multiple Choice raw score does one need to get a 5?</p>

<p>I purchased the AMSCO book after the rave reviews on this site, and must admit that it is really valuable - more so than any test-prep book out there.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Matt</p>

<p>85-90% is way more than you need to get a 5. With good essays, you could probably get away with 60%+ and pull in a 5.</p>

<p>There’s no curve for multiple choice specifically but the curve in past years made it necessary to get a ~60-65% to get a 5.</p>
