Barrons AP Biology Curve Really Harsh??

Test Preparation AP Sciences

<p>OK, so apparently the curve that the new Barrons AP bio review book gives is that you have to get less than 9 incorrect (out of 63) to get a 5. That's around an 87% as the cutoff for a 5.</p>

<p>I know the test this year may have a less lenient curve, but they used to be super lenient with it (60%+ gets a 5)....
I know this post is mostly pointless and not really calming to my nerves either but would this be reasonable to you guys??</p>

<p>87% for a 5 is outrageous. I’m almost positive CB wouldn’t be that cruel; if it were, hardly anyone would make a 5 on it.</p>

<p>That isn’t possible. The curve will be around 70% for a 5 most likely</p>
