<p>Seriously, these pages say that you only need 68-108 to get a 5. That is almost 62 percent.</p>

<p>I am self-studying so this is important to me. My acquaintances at other schools say that their teachers told them that one needs an 80% to get a 5. Can anybody comment on this? Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>P.S. I would also appreciate it if you could explain an FRQ to me in my other post <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/mathematics-computer-science/1494445-ab-calc-frq-question-explanation.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/mathematics-computer-science/1494445-ab-calc-frq-question-explanation.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>It is what it says it is.</p>

<p>A large fraction of BC students get a 5, compared to any other AP subject. However, I don’t believe it is an easy test.</p>

<p>Well, difficulty is in the perception of the one taking the test. I think the test is a joke. Good point about the curve.</p>
