101

<p>5 steps says that the Micro and Macro ones require a composite score of 70 to get a 5. But the PR says 65-68. Please let the PR be right!!! Does anyone know?</p>

102

<p>Anyone???</p>

<p>Seriously? 70/120 for Human Geo… seems a little to easy.</p>

103

<p>That chemistry curve is gross. 50% for a 4?</p>

104

<p>Macroeconomics

</p>

105

<p>macro economics has by far one of the least lenient scales beside mandarin…</p>

106

<p>Aw **** my econ teacher wasn’t lying when he said that you had to get 80% for a 5… This can’t be true!!</p>

107

<p>macro is a ■■■■■■■</p>

108

<p>The Notorious B.U.M.P.</p>

<p>This should be useful for students as they head into the second half of the school year.</p>

109

<p>Where was this data attained?</p>

110

<p>Does anyone know what the curve is for the AP Spanish Literature exam? I’m thinking of taking it this year in place of German Language since I’m not confident enough in my German proficiency…</p>

111

<p>Very nice, thanks!
Anyone have any info on the AP Latins? (I guess that’s singular this year… :()</p>

112

<p>Did anyone see that if you get 50% right on the AP Calculus BC exam, you get a 5?..</p>

113

<p>

</p>

<p>Released exams. Because the curves don’t fluctuate significantly from year to year, the scoring guide for one year is a decent benchmark for future years.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>59% actually, and that’s 59% raw (which includes the -1/4 penalty for any MC you got wrong).</p>

114

<p>Sorry my quote function isn’t working; is that a good thing then? For this year’s BC students?</p>

115

<p>Gasp!!!There’s a curve for AP Exams!!!
I thought they use some kind of formula or has a fixed point standard.
Shock!!!</p>

116

<p>Never mind! I misread something. That did not shock me. I totally misunderstood.
Does anyone what is the curve for AP Envi Sci?</p>

117

<p>

</p>

<p>I’m not sure what you’re asking. </p>

<p>These numbers are the RAW scores that you must achieve to get a certain score, i.e.</p>

<h1>right - 1/4 * # wrong = raw score</h1>

<p>So even though you might need only 59% raw score to get a 5 on Calc BC, you would actually need to answer a greater percentage correct than 59% in order to get a 5 (assuming you get some questions wrong, which you probably will).</p>

118

<p>oh my, macro, micro, and worldhistory will be tough</p>

119

<p>Thanks a lot for posting these! According to this I need to average around half or just over half of the total raw score possible to get the two 3s and two 4s I need this year. :)</p>

120

<p>I just read the AP US Government and Politics thread for this year and this scale was posted as the official scale for 2009:</p>

<p>91 - 120 = 5
79 - 90 = 4
62 - 78 = 3
42 - 61 = 2
0 - 41 = 1</p>

<p>If this is right, it should replace the one posted here from 1999. Looks like scores have fluctuated a little in 10 years time.</p>
