<p>Is it hard to get a 5? Like what percent do you need correct for at least a 4.</p>
<p>I got a 5 on Calculus BC…it’s not too terribly difficult if you really know how to apply the concepts such as integration by parts or substitution, testing for convergence, etc.</p>
<p>Sorry I don’t know what percentage you need to expect a 4 or 5 (it changes slightly by year). I’d guess maybe around 60% for a 4?</p>
<p>To get a 5 you need to get 68/108 points which is approximately 63%.
To get a 4 you need to get 52/108 points which is approximately 48%.</p>
<p>^Is that for every year? I thought cutoffs vary slightly year to year…</p>
<p>wow only half right for a 4! That’s awesome. A ti 84 is good enough for the exam right?</p>
<p>You can use an 84. I used an N-Spire for the exam, which has basically the same functionality as the 84, but better interface (as well as some other changes).</p>
<p>The cutoffs will differ per year but what I listed is around the amount you would need. It doesn’t jump to like 80/108 for 5. More like give or take 2 points. That’s all.</p>
<p>I self-studied precalc during my sophomore year and following summer. Then, since math didn’t fit into my junior year schedule, I am taking AP Calc BC online through OSU. Depending on what I get on the exam, (4 or 5) I will either take calc 3 at a community, but if I get a 3 or lower, I was thinking about retaking Calc BC, the option most seniors in our school take, at my school. Will this look bad, when I applied to college. BTW, I want to go into engineering.</p>
<p>I took BC last year, and my teacher sucked, I felt like I learned nothing except on my own but I self studied with Barron’s (mostly crammed…) and got a 5. It clearly has a high curve. You should be fine. there were definitely questions I got wrong and free responses I didn’t answer fully</p>
<p>i pretty sure that you can cancel your scores if you dont want to send them to colleges also, i think ap exams are used for credits which allow u to pass lower level classes in college</p>
