<p>From the 2002 test:</p>

<p>91–150 5 (60%)<br>
70–90 4 (Approx 50%)
58–69 3 (Approx 35%)
45–57 2
0–44 1</p>

<p>(i meant to say 'is like' in the title, my bad)</p>

<p>I actually think that has changed, because the test now only has 100 MC</p>

<p>This is what the CliffsAP says:</p>

<p>Number of MC correct - 1/4*NumberWrong = A
Essay Score added together: B</p>

<p>Final Score: 0.6*A + B = Up to 100</p>

<p>Curve:</p>

<p>61-100 = 5
47-60 = 4
39-46 = 3
30-38 = 2
0-29 = 1</p>

3

<p>so you still need about a 60% to get a 5</p>

4

<p>Haha all u guys are shooting for a 5, ill be the happiest kid on earth if I get a 3!!!</p>

<p>Im just gonna study the labs and plants, and hopefully that will get me a 3</p>

5

<p>I just need a 4 for credit, but its good to know what you need for a 5</p>

6

<p>All the colleges I want you need a 3, but I do not remember learning anything I see people discuss on here haha.</p>

<p>Oh well, same thing on the APUSH test last year, which I got a 3 on</p>

7

<p>I thought it was:
(MC raw score out of 100) * (.9)
+
(FRQ essay out of 40) * (1.5)</p>

<p>They add up to 150 maximum, and it’s around
85-150 = 5
65-84 = 4
And so on. So it’s around that general area of 4, and it’s nice to know that they give you a lot of flexibility with the 5.</p>

8

<p>sooo is it generally accepted that high 80s low 90s would get you a 5?</p>

9

<p>does anyone have the released 2002 AP bio MC’s?</p>

10

<p>Dude MUCH lower than that will get you a 5</p>

11

<p>^ what do you mean? it’s still out of 150 isn’t it? 100 * .9 = 90…40 * 1.5 = 60…90 + 60 = 150…90 out of 150 is 60%…are you saying you need less than 60% for a 5?</p>

12

<p>does anyone know what the curve for the AP Biology test for 2013 is? Or even for 2012?</p>

13

<p>No, because no one has taken them yet, and the curve is based on how well the test takers do.</p>

14

<p>well, what was the curve like the past couple of years?</p>
