<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I keep taking mocks and everytime I get 14-16 wrong lol so its 80-14 or w/e -3.5 and I get a raw score of 61-63 everytime for the multiple choice. Is this on the road for a solid 5 or a borderline?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Mathematically you can still get a 5 with 56/80. 64/80 consistently should have you in great shape.</p>

Is that assuming you get all 9's on your essays?</p>
<p>As long as you get a 60% or above on the essays, you're well into the 5 range. APUSH has one of the easier curves.</p>
<p>You can get that 56/80 and a 7/9 on your essays and be WELL Within a 5 range. Honestly people get so uptight about AP Exams except the only AP exam that is graded hard [besides languages] is AP US Government, all the other ones as long as you are able to pass the exam [meaning a 70% or above], you almost always automatically get a 5. If you get a C+ you should get a 5 no matter what. Trying to get a B- is just being an overachiever.</p>
<p>60+ is fantastic</p>
<p>about 54 raw score and 3 6's is around the minimum for a 5</p>
<p>The general cutoff is 2/3 of the raw score. It's roughly around 121/180 that you can get a 5 in. Getting a 64 is an EXCELLENT score as long as you get 6 or more on the essays.</p>
<p>**** your pants when you open your DBQ.</p>
<p>Go over the Princeton Review, they have pretty good strategies. Also AP:</a> Free-Response Questions for past essays.</p>
<p>based on what i posted above</p>
<p>Raw Score of 53
DBQ: 6
Essay:5
Essay: 5</p>
<p>this will get you a 5</p>
<p>easy</p>
<p>lol Liist.. hmm just remeber to connect ideas together... essays are not laundry lists put rather test ur ability to write a cohesive essay that both uses knowledge and ability to convey what in the hell u are talking bout lol</p>
<p>thanks for the support guys.. I don't know why but I keep gettin the same haha</p>
<p>ewww... i remeber last yrs euro dbq... child-rearing... im just hoping we don't get one of those</p>
<p>I'm taking AP Lang and I know my USH. I can make a cohesive essay, don't worry about it.</p>
<p>ahh sorry Liist.. I meant lol to your comment and the advice to bitCCh</p>
<p>I think the reason the curve is easy is because most people simply have a panic attack during the exam, forget everything, waste time, and thus fail. Don't be one of those people, and you'll get a 5.</p>
<p>Is that seriously how easy that is to get a 5?!</p>
<p>Our teacher is such a liar. haha. I guess it works though since a good portion of the class gets ~75% right on old AP exams. Yay! Having gotten an 80% on one of those without preparation makes me feel a lot more confident.</p>
