<p>Is a 5 on an AP test a 100%? If you miss one question one the exam does that mean you have a 4.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies...:)</p>
<p>On most tests, a 70% or so on the exam is a 5.</p>
<p>But the tests aren't that easy.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Anybody else...</p>
<p>its scaled differently every year</p>
<p>it depends on how well ppl in the particular yr do...</p>
<p>but yes its usually 70% for a 5. its a little different for every test. some tests have more generous curves, i think.</p>
<p>like i took ap bio, & i definitely got a ton wrong. a lot of other ppl said that it was kinda hard this year. i got a ton wrong & didnt finish it & got a 5, so im guessing the curve was very lenient this yr:):):)</p>
<p>So is a 3 50%-60%?</p>
<p>''but yes its usually 70% for a 5. its a little different for every test. some tests have more generous curves, i think.''</p>
<p>Which test have tighter curves (for exp: calc...90% or higher is a 5)</p>
<p>calc doesn't have that curve..........lol</p>
<p>traditionally calc and bio have easier curves
(50~60% may mean a 5)</p>
<p>and other tests such as English Language have tighter ones..
but pretty much the scores are based on how well the general population does on the exam - if more do well, then the curve is tighter, and vice versa.</p>
<p>@stephen: Its just and example it is not true and i repeat NOT TRUE!!!</p>
<p>sorry ap bio was my first ap. but i think calc is a harder ap...</p>
<p>i think the harder aps have more lenient curves...the easier ones have tighter curves. (human geography, etc)</p>
<p>This thread has all the curves:</p>
<p>Well...for chem, I've heard 67% would give you a 5...and then I've heard 50-60% would give you a 5.
Ohh, i hope it's the latter :p</p>
<p>I know for sure that stats is usually a 68%</p>
