Calc BC Curve

<p>What's the highest it's ever been?
Do you think it will be generous or evil this year?</p>

<p>i think it’ll be around normal. question 6 was pretty tough for a lot of people so maybe it’ll adjust to around 66-70 for a 5</p>

<p>Lol good question, when was it highest and lowest? How do we know about the curve?</p>

<p>If I am not mistaken either 2008 or last year was 64. I believe the average is 66-68 and the highest is 70. Count on ~66 this year.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I am so getting a 2-3 then</p>

<p>2008 was 66. Not sure about last year.</p>

<p>i expect it to be pretty normal (normal = 59.3% for a 5). The FRQs were all reasonable (except for question 6)…and the MC was pretty reasonable as well.</p>

<p>I feel like 59.3% is a little low… Where did you get that number, anyhow?</p>

<p>2003 exam curve</p>

<p>My calc teacher told us that you need to get about 66% to get a 5… I’d say you’re safe if you have anywhere above 70%. I don’t know how much lower you can go, though.</p>

<p>The curve goes higher ever year…</p>

<p>Oh goodie… Another exam I won’t be getting the score I want!</p>

<p>Yayyy…</p>

<p>Whoa it better not be 70 for a 5 o_o
That’s really high :confused: and I’m kind of borderline now that I think about it</p>

<p>So what would a 3 or 4 be? In the 50s for a 4?</p>

<p>It’s usually 65-70.
70 max, this year I hope its lower.</p>

<p>It’s usually from about 40ish to about 55 for a 4, and from about 30 to 40 for a 3.</p>

<p>Unlike the AB exam, when I looked at the historical BC curves that were released this year, they didn’t appear to have the amount of fluctuation that the AB curve appeared to have. Even though we won’t find out the actual values, I’d be shocked to discover that any of the boundaries varied from this by more than a couple of points.</p>
