<p>Okay I was wondering if anyone here has taken the BC exam any years in the past, felt like they did really badly or know they missed a lot and still gotten a 5? This would be an appreciated boost to many of us right now.....lol</p>
<p>I took the test last year and from what I've heard, it was harder than this year's. However, a number of students I know scored 5s even though there were some doubts. I would forget about the test for now. You took the incentive to take a college level test and went through with it. Hope for the best and start focusing on your other exams.</p>
<p>Well look at it this way, you only need around a 75% for a 5, so you can feel like you missed a lot compared to a test you take in school, but you still could definelty get a 5.</p>
<p>I didn't get a 5, but I left at least 2 whole Free response questions blank and got a 4. Also I know people who didn't finish MC and were unsure about free response and got 5's. Actually a lot of people i know got 5's and did not expect it at all.</p>
<p>okay that really helps to reassure me. i actually finished mc, left a few blank, but im pretty confident about the other ones. im really unsure about my free response performance though. but thanks stressedoutsenior cause you showed me that some have gotten 5's and been a little apprehensive after the test.....thats a good omen.</p>
<p>I'm not going to worry about it...because...i can't do anything about it now...
I did my best, and for once, that's good enough for me.</p>
<p>I remember that last year, I totally blew the question with the logistics graph (I think I got the entire thing wrong), and was fairly bummed out about it. However, I still ended up getting a 5.</p>
<p>"you only need around a 75% for a 5"</p>
<p>A lot less than that actually. On average the minimum requirement for a 5 is 60-65 points out of a possible 108. I'm betting (and hoping) it'll be on the lower end of that scale this year because the free response were pretty difficult. Either way, you'll only need 60% or less to get a 5...</p>
<p>Yeah, 60% sounds right.</p>
<p>even better heh, but actually i think this years MC was on the easier side.</p>
<p>unlike ladyinred, I don't feel that I tried my best. On the bright side, I did spend the night before the test looking up formulas (semi-cramming), and thank god I looked up the polar sector area formula. So, like ladyinred, I feel confident that I "tried my best," especially since I acknowledge that I am an extreme procrastinator -_-.</p>
<p>for the BC score, is it lets say 60 or 75% of ALL free response questions + MC, or 60-75% of the BC FRQ's +MC?</p>
<p>I hope it is of all FR and MC. I'm pretty sure it is though.</p>
<p>bc frq's + mc.</p>
<p>I think it is all frq + mc.</p>
<p>biomaster, i took the test last year and i thot i was gonna get a 3. i got the last 2 free responses completely wrong, but i ended up with a 5 tho.</p>
<p>:( i think i did worse than any1 who posted
I totally LEFT BLANK 17 MC cuz i didn't even have time to guess (the ones i marked r the ones i'm pretty sure of)
I did 3/4 of my 4 questions and 1/4 my 2 other FR question
do u think i have a chance of getting a 4?</p>
<p>Yeah, Casper, you still have a chance. If you got about 20 points on the multiple choice (before it's scaled) and then 25 points on the free response, that'd probably put you at a 4 range.</p>
<p>"for the BC score, is it lets say 60 or 75% of ALL free response questions + MC, or 60-75% of the BC FRQ's +MC?"</p>
<p>Yeah, it's 60% overall... all free response and all multiple choice. Except keep in mind that each part is worth 50% of your total grade, and the multiple choice score has to be scaled (multiplied by 1.2).</p>
