Curve for Physics C

<p>Any ideas on what raw scores correspond to what grade? My english teacher has information for all the old exams he has (it gives you the formulas to plug in your raw MC score and raw essay score to get a specific number grade for that year), but we've got nothing for physics. Thanks.</p>

<p>Curious here as well...</p>

<p>differs a little bit every year but around 52/90 is a five.</p>

<p>Foryou42, you bring hope!!! Do you seriously only need ~60% for a five?!?!?</p>

<p>My teacher's been curving our tests all year so that 50% equals an A because she claims a 50% will get you a 5 on the AP test.</p>

<p>I actually just found some information online (I'd link it, but I saw it in school and just have a printout here)...it's from 1998, so the numbers will be a little different but still in the same ballpark.</p>

<p>Just a little note on how to get the scaled numerical score: take your MC score (after subtracting points for any incorrect answers), multiply it by (45/35), then add it to your total free response score (Q1 + Q2 + Q3). This gives a maximum score of 90.</p>

<p>Mechanics:
55-90 : 5
43-54 : 4
32-42 : 3
21-31 : 2
0-20 : 1</p>

<p>Electricity and Magnetism
49-90 : 5
35-48 : 4
26-34 : 3
15-25 : 2
0-14 : 1</p>

<p>Pretty big range for a 5, eh?</p>

<p>SWEET! I thought I was sooo screwed.</p>
