How Much Trouble am I in for the AP Bio Exam?

Test Preparation AP Sciences
1

<p>So, my AP Bio teacher set up a practice exam that everyone was supposed to come for. The incentive was that a 1%, 2%, or 3% boost would be added to your overall grade if you got a 3, 4, or 5. Also, a 4 or 5 would exempt you from the final. It seems like he made the curve really harsh (65% for a 4 and 75% for a 5). Seeing as I only got a 3, and I've been trying really hard all year, I'm quite scared for the AP. </p>

<p>How in line were these curves he set with the curve last year for a 4 or 5? What's everyone else doing, and what should I be doing for the test this Monday? </p>

<p>Don’t be discouraged. Take released practice tests. I believe a 65% on frq and mc would be a 5.</p>

<p>Last year you needed 78 points out of 99 to get a 5. 64/99 to get a 4. </p>

Wow, a 78/99 for a 5 is an obscenely harsh curve for a 5, and would be a 78% pretty much. Isn’t an 80% as harsh as it can get for a 5? Then, where did you get the idea that a 65% is a 5 @XCBro4Life‌? </p>
