<p>@iamsocool…you can jack up an essay and still get a 5 if you did well on everything else. It all depends.</p>
<p>Wasn’t there a post that listed the raw scores and everything for a lot of AP tests needed to get a 5? I don’t think those will be much use this year as I think the curve this year will be significantly different…</p>
<p>I did well on every other FRQ (100% or maybe like one or two points off if anything) but I screwed up #1 and may have only received like 3 points at most for that question.</p>
<p>I did well on MC too, so who knows. But I am wondering how they scale the essays.Like do they multiply them by anything?</p>
<p>how many points are given per FRQ?</p>
<p>It depends on how many points per FRQ. Question for is always 15 pts. I think questions are usually around 9-10 points. </p>
<p>You have to remember that each question is a different percent of the overall score. The whole FRQ section is 50%, questions 1, 2, 3 are 20% each of the 50%, question 4 is 10% of the 50%, and question 5 and 6 are 15% of the 50%. </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure they multiply each FRQ by a multiplier so each FRQ’s percentage corresponds.</p>
<p>^Thanks 10char</p>
<p>Ah, oh well I guess ill find out in July…i hate this damn waiting game.</p>
<p>Hmm, I felt that it was much easier than what I had expected. The FRQ’s were all doable (fairly straightforward) and MC was not that much worse. Well, we’ll see how it goes. I have to retake chemistry anyways…don’t really care what kind of score I get.</p>
<p>U know u guys want to discuss the MC and FR on this forum right now,lol…Plus, I doubt they will track you through the internet…</p>
<p>was not expecting question 2 but it was ok and hopefully i did decent.</p>
<p>Anyone wanna predict a curve?</p>
<p>Well IMHO that was way easier than I anticipated. There was nothing on it that I didn’t recognize, and my teacher warned us that she hadn’t taught everything since the class only takes up a regular period in my school.</p>
<p>Btw I LOLed at the note on the back that said “It is not expected that you know every question.” Does this mean they expect it on every other test? haha</p>
<p>hahahaha according to 5 steps to a 5, 85 to 150 is a 5 – WHAT? ■■■■■</p>
<p>anyone wanna predict an actual curve?</p>
<p>About the curve, I don’t think it will deviate much from the past years…what that is exactly, I don’t know. Maybe just a few points higher for each score, but not anything significant.</p>
<p>TQS…I didn’t see that?</p>
<p>65% is about the average for a 5.</p>
<p>most recent test, i think 2008 was 100/150</p>
<p>A little more a little less? anyone wanna give it a try?</p>
<h1>1 on the free response section was hard. I thought the whole thing was alright cause I was expecting the test to be killer.</h1>
<p>My class didn’t have time to finish learning the curriculum so I ended up quickly teaching myself 4 units in a matter of days. Hopefully, I did alright…</p>
<p>85/150 means you can get around a 42-43 raw score on M/C and get a 5, provided you did equally well on the FRQs. </p>
<p>This year, I’m guessing the curve will be more around if you get a 48-49 or evenn 49-50 raw score on M/C to get a 5, as it was much easier .</p>
<p>If anyone knows what the 2002 curve was, I think this year will be similar to the 2002 curve…</p>
<p>It should be the same. They wouldn’t vary the curve more than 5 points in just one year.</p>
<p>That being said, there is nothing we can do. The test is done. Just wait until the FRQs are up to discuss answers.</p>
<p>100/150 means that you had to get a raw score of 50 on the M/C, doing equally well on the FRQs…this year was definitely easier than the 2008 test tho…which means this year the curve might be around…55 raw score to get a 5?</p>
<p>@ninmage621: i think the curve scale in 5 steps to a 5 is incorrect; 85/150 as a 5 would mean that if u get a 57%, u get a 5 – which would make it a better curve than calc bc lol. I think its more around 66%, maybe + or - 2-3%?</p>
