<p>This class has been the absolute worst I've ever taken... I feel like hardly anything has stuck in my head, and I'm terrified of not passing.
I'm confident on my essay writing for the most part, but on the MC I'm not sure at all how I'm going to do.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any links to the percentage of MC needed correct to score a 3 with decent essays? This would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>For the 2006 exam, you needed the following to get a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5…
5: 106-180 points
4:85-105 points
3:68-84 points
2:47-67 points
1: 0-46 points (I think I MIGHT be able to get this…)</p>
<p>However, I saw somewhere that the curve is a bit harder now, so I’d aim for 80 points to ensure a 3. </p>
<p>This is how you do it:</p>
<p>Take your multiple choice score, subtract the # of answers you got wrong over 4, and multiply that by 1.125.</p>
<p>Take your 2 FRQ scores, and multiply them by 2.75</p>
<p>Multiply your DBQ score by 4.5</p>
<p>Add them all together to get your final score.</p>
<p>So, for example, if you got 50 right on the multiple choice and got 30 wrong, you would subtract 30 divided by 4 from 50, which would be 50-30/4=42.5 (I think they round it up to 43, not sure)</p>
<p>Then if you got two 5s on the FRQs, and a 5 on the DBQ, you follow the method:
(5<em>2.75) +(5</em>2.75)+(5*4.5)=50 </p>
<p>Then you add the 50 with 42.5 and get 92.5 which rounds up to 93…so with 50 multilpe choice right and three 5s you’ll get definitely a 3 and probably a 4. </p>
<p>At least, this is what I think, if I"m wrong someone please let me know…</p>
<p>Oh I just realized I forgot to multiply the 42.5 by 1.125…which, when you do, it equals 47.8125, added with the 50 gives you 97.8 or 98, which is definitely a 4…</p>
<p>wait… so if you get a 63% on mc, it is a 4?</p>
<p>Assuming I did everything right, if you get 50 out of the 80 multiple choice (in other words 63%) and get 3 fives on the essays I think you have a 4. (if not you’re very close to one.)</p>
<p>Why is the curve so much harder now after only 4 years?</p>
<p>I’m not sure how much harder it is, all i remember is from one thread (dont remember which) someone posted the 2006 curves and another person commented on “wow, how was apush lenient a couple of years ago?” and had a different curve that was a little harder.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how hard the REA practice tests are compared to the real AP exam? I’ve been scoring around 68-75% on the MC and I usually score in the 6 range in class (my teacher purposely grades hard). so what score would that generate?</p>
<p>That curve is awesome. I’m estimating a 70/80 on MC, I took two old AP exams and got a 62/80 (no review) and w/ review I got a 71/80.
70 - 10(.25) = 67.5 for MC</p>
<p>How many points is the DBQ worth and how much are the two smaller essays worth?</p>
