<p>I think Macro/Micro are 71</p>
<p>sticky this thread please</p>
<p>How hard are essays for bio and en sci?</p>
<p>for barron’s, the curve is 80% for en sci lol</p>
<p>that’s pretty harsh…</p>
<p>what’s the curve for comp. gov?</p>
<p>“World - 78/108 (5), 62 (4), 43 (3), 27 (2) | 72.22%”</p>
<p>Someone may have pointed this out already, but the scores go to 120 for World History. With this in mind, is this raw score of 78 for a 5 still accurate?</p>
<p>Microeconomics calculator has been added to [AP</a> Pass - AP Microeconomics Calculator](<a href=“http://appass.com/calculators/microeconomics]AP”>AP Micro-economics Test Score Calculator - AP Pass) </p>
<p>@I3auer, when I found the formula for world history last year, I got this curve:
1…0-27
2…27-43
3…43-62
4…62-78
5…78-120</p>
<p>(someone please correct me if this curve is unrealistic)</p>
<p>so for that particular weighting, it should be accurate. (there is a calculator for this one too at [AP</a> Pass - AP World Calculator](<a href=“http://appass.com/calculators/world]AP”>AP World History Test Score Calculator - AP Pass) ) But as always, the scoring changes every year, so a if your raw score is a 78, there is no guarantee that you’ll get a 5 with however they grade it this year; aim for higher than that</p>
<p>The curve for the economics are way too brutal. The tests must be easy.</p>
<p>AP Biology Calculator is here! (same site) the curve I found was extremely lenient, but maybe the Bio test is really that hard? can someone confirm?</p>
<p>^AP Biology covers a lot of material, and the questions on the exam can sometimes get tricky/really specific, so I guess that’s why it has a fairly generous curve.</p>
<p>alright, I guess the curve is legitimate then. Do any of you have formulas for any other AP courses?</p>
<p>Well, everyone says it’s legitimate, but it seems WAY too lenient to be true. With those scores, a good guesser could just guess his way through the multiple choice and BS some parts of the essays correctly and pass.</p>
<p>Actually no…those curves include your errors…</p>
<p>^^exactly. tsenchar.</p>
<p>I can definitely affirm the Calc BC at around 60%, as that’s what my Calc teacher (teaching for 37 years and averages a 4.8ish, I think) said you need raw for a 5 on the exam.
That curve for Bio also seems to make sense. The exam is pretty easy, but I could see a lot of classes simply not covering the material necessary for it.
Anyway, I’m curious if anyone thinks there might be a Multivariable exam any time soon? Probably not within the next two years, but eventually?</p>
<p>^no. i wish though.
however, ap exams are “introductory college courses”</p>
<p>multivar is considered a 2nd year math course.</p>
<p>Is AP chem really 67% for a 5?</p>
<p>Not sure if it is too relevant, but if I get a raw score of 45 or so on the MC portion of the exam, how likely is it that I will get a 5 on the actual exam? I took the 2008 Practice Exam (the one you can find using Google).</p>
<p>why AP econs have such a harsh curve? Other subjects have a way easier and nice curve. Only econs have a extremely narrow range for 5: 70-90</p>
<p>What’s latin?</p>
<p>I continue to be reassured by these curves. I wonder how this year’s exams will compare.</p>
