Estimating your Physics C (Mechanics) Score?

<p>I was told 33% right on the multiple choice was the amount you needed to get right to get a 3, but is that assuming that you get about 33% worth of the free-response credit, or can you get just get a 3 by just getting 33% of the mutiple choice right and not getting anything on the free-response (that doesn't sound right).</p>

<p>Lets say I got about 15 points on the free-response and my raw score on the multiple choice would be 22 right, 8 wrong, and 5 skipped.</p>

<p>What can I expect when I get my score back?</p>

<p>raw score of about 46, 3 zone.</p>

<p>I'm hoping for a 5, but my range is probably high 4 or low 5 ~_~</p>

<p>lowest, 3, but I did very well on FR</p>

<p>Mechanics... I predict 2 at worst, 3 on norm, and 4 if i get a miracle.</p>

<p>E&M.... I predict 1 at worst, 2 on norm, and 3 if I get a mircle.</p>

<p>For a 3, you need approximately 45% out of 90. For a 4, 60%, for a 5, 75%.</p>

<p>Anyway, I'm really *<strong><em>ed I did the whole 3rd FRQ, but did only half of the other two, *</em></strong>ed away my score on those. Was hoping for a 4 overall, but I can live with a 3, just that my shot for National AP Scholar just got shredded.</p>

<p>75% of the entire test correct for a 5?</p>

<p>49 - 5
37 - 4</p>

<p>The curve is very low (usually)</p>

<p>Earth-dragon has the correct curve</p>

<p>i found this, but i don't know how correct it is for 2006</p>

<p>Hm, I may be mistaken.</p>

<p>49 out of what? out of 80?</p>

<p>I know the 2004 released exam that we did in class, cut off was 49 and 37...I forget the rest.</p>

<p>49/90, everything is out of 90 points because MC is 45 points, FR is 45 points, so you have 90 total points</p>

<p>I hope the cut off is like that ~_~</p>

<p>Test is out of 90.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think the curve may be higher this year, the FRQs were pretty easy, and so was the MC (IMO) [for Mechanics anyway].</p>

<p>Hmm, I agree that the FRQ was easy, but the MC seemed hard to me. I've not taken a practice MC before though so I guess I don't know.</p>

<p>Well, no wonder, I took 4 practice MC tests.</p>

<p>?<em>? Everyone came out of my school sobbing and wanting to cancel their scores all because of the MC....so, I don't know? I was like ~</em>~ T________T</p>

<p>Total flipflop for my class, MC was easy, FRQ was either easy or a mess up. On practice tests I was getting 22-ish on the MC, plus a perfect FRQ (15 points) and I already am near a 4 more or less on the scales of recent years.</p>

<p>I hope that curve posted is simmilar for this year. I think I did okay. I answered 28 and ommitted seven. I got FRQ #2, but had problems with the other two...:( My school found the whole thing to be really hard.</p>
