For the following exams,
AP Spanish Language
AP Computer Science
AP English Language
AP Chemistry
AP US History
What if your estimate for how many points you would need to receieve on Multiple Choice and Free responses for these exams to get a 5? I know there are some websites that calculate it, but they use old exam formats… so I’m just wondering what your (or your prep books’) estimates are!
Of these, all I know is that English Lang requires around 112 of 150 (varies from year to year) points. The scaling is really weird for this particular test, so I suggest you check out some of the scoring guidelines; a comprehensive list is here: http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/courses/212187.html. Also, the old estimates are usually relatively accurate, unless the test underwent a major overhaul (as in the case of AP Physics B [RIP]}.
The curves fluctuate slightly each year, but they are similar from year to year. Using appass.com, I got the following.
AP Spanish Language: 116/150 or 77.3%
AP Computer Science: 61/80 or 76.25%
AP English Language: 109/150 or 72.7%
AP Chemistry: 68/100 or 68%
AP US History: 110/180 or 61.1%
All of them should be pretty accurate, although I know that APUSH had a change in the exam last year, and the data from appass is from 2006.
