<p>@ mosdefinitely: For an individual year, yes, but the individual curves are all pretty close to the curves above.</p>
<p>@ random747: It’s raw points eanred / total raw points.</p>
<p>Very, very helpful. Thank you</p>
<p>bump again</p>
<p>@gunsanbob</p>
<p>For AP Bio:
Take your raw mc points and multiply it by 0.9.
Take your total essay points multiply it by 1.5.
Add the two quantities to get your composite score.</p>
<p>I don’t know how many you got wrong/skip so its hard to calculate your raw score. Can I safely assume you got ~20 wrong and the rest skips?</p>
<p>In this case your mc score would be 64-20(.25)=59<em>0.9=53.1
And your essay score would be 1.5</em>27=40.5
Your composite score is 93.6 which is equivalent to a 5 on the new ap bio exam curve(86+=5). The OP posted the curve for the older bio exam.</p>
<p>Hope this helps</p>
<p>How do you calculate score for physics, calculus, and microeconomics</p>
<p>woah woah woah,
tpingt there is a … new ap bio curve? How recent is it? And can you elaborate on it?</p>
<p>So tpingt, just to clarify, if i got a 50 on the mc and a 28 on the frq that means
50<em>.9=45, and 28</em>1.5=42
45+42=87. So that was on the borderline of a 5???</p>
<p>Does anyone know the ap environmental sci curve?</p>
<p>@motivated_101</p>
<p>I probably should have clarified on ‘new.’ The 100 question format has been around for several years already. I just said ‘new’ because it was different from what the OP had.</p>
<p>The curve changes from year-to-year. For your best interests, I would probably shoot ~10 pts above the predicted borderline to be safe.</p>
<p>Ok thanks for the clarification!</p>
<p>@motivated: Be careful though - your 50/100 on MC has to be OVERALL. Like not 50 right and 30 wrong - that would be a 42.5. It has to be something like 60 right and 40 wrong, so that 60 - (40*.25) = 50 - would be your score.
But like tpingt said, you probably want to be at around 75 correct, 25 wrong, so that even if anything iffy happens on the exam, you are still a good 20 points above the ‘minimum.’</p>
<p>I know I can get a 5 for the multiple choice on the biology BUT the written will be a problem… I calculated I need around 24/40 on the written, which seems pretty hard to do.</p>
<p>The average score for each bio essay in 2008 was about 2-4 points out of a possible 10:

<p>:O</p>
<p>Yeah remember that these are the raw scores calculated AFTER all of the incorrect -1/4 penalties are factored in.</p>
<p>Are you talking about the essay because free response. has no penalty for incorrect answers.</p>
<p>Essay = free response. There’s only an incorrect penalty for the MC. For the FR, you cannot lose points.</p>
<p>exactly. but it sounded like you were talking about the essay</p>
<p>Does anybody know the Comparative Government one?</p>
<p>Hey so going back to the ap bio curve, Do you think if you get a total (mc score+frq score) of 100+you can safely secure a 5?</p>
<p>Thats 67%, I’d be pretty confident with that.</p>
