How do your calculate the AP BIOLOGY Exam score?

<p>I've heard different ways oddly enough, but is this it for sure?</p>

<p>(# of MC right)* (.9) + (# of pts you get on the Free Response, which is out of 40, 10 for each question)* (1.5). </p>

<p>The max is 150, and then</p>

<p>5) 85-150
4)65-84
And so on??</p>

<p>it depends on how everyone in the nation does on the test. it is curved. if everyone happens to do really well, then the curve changes.</p>

<p>[(# of MC correct) - (.25 X # of MC you marked incorrectly)] *(0.9) + (# of points you get on the Free Response) *(1.5)</p>

<p>

Can anyone confirm if this looks about right?</p>

<p>85/150? That’s a little too low even for the AP curve, isn’t it? I never took Bio, but even for subjects like Physics and chem you have to score about 65%</p>

<p>if you took bio, you would understand.</p>

<p>there is way too much stuff to know for the course so i’m hoping that curve is about right.</p>

<p>I’d say 95 to be safe.</p>

<p>most your curves dont change that much. you wont see mammoth changes, since the test is supposed to be relatively standardized.</p>

<p>What’s the range for a 3?</p>

<p>40-50%?
I’m guessing</p>

<p>On my practice test I got a TOTAL score of 60, is that a safe four? I feel like there no way :(</p>

<p>^if its the MC only and out of 100 question it is.</p>

<p>what if i got a 64.5ish after subtracting the .25 on the MC alone, out of a 100 questions. is that a safe 4-5?</p>

<p>^ safe 4, borderline 5, you’d have to do well on FRQ</p>
