How hard is it to get a 4 on the AP English Lit exam?

I am not taking AP English, but I took honors in 10th and 11th grades. UMich awards 3 credits of humanities if I can pull off a 4 or 5.

multiple choice is 45% of test; essays are 55% of test; and overall percentage of a 4 is 60%; and a 5 is 70%...so scale accordingly...

the multiple choice is much like the sat verbal,a nd essays are..well...essays, how good are you at writing them...

if you are half-decent at essays and deent at multiple choce a 4 is not hard; otherwise its kinda hard....

hope this kinda helps...











HERE's a java program if yu have a compiler; just copy-and-paste this code I wrote, and run it

import java.util.*;
public class Scoring {
public static void main (String args[])
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter multiple choice CORRECT /54: ");
int MC_CORRECT = in.nextInt();
int MC_WRONG = (45 - MC_CORRECT);

System.out.print("Enter score on FRQ1 /9: ");
int FRQ1 = in.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter score on FRQ2 /9: ");
int FRQ2 = in.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter score on FRQ3 /9: ");
int FRQ3 = in.nextInt();

double MC_TOTAL = (MC_CORRECT - ((0.25)*(MC_WRONG))) * 1.23;
double FRQ_TOTAL = (FRQ1 + FRQ2 + FRQ3) * 3.06;

double TOTAL_RAW = Math.round(MC_TOTAL) + FRQ_TOTAL;
if(TOTAL_RAW >= 107)
System.out.println("Total RAW score is: " + TOTAL_RAW + " and your AP Score is 5");
else if(TOTAL_RAW <=106 && TOTAL_RAW >=93)
System.out.println("Total RAW score is: " + TOTAL_RAW + " and your AP Score is 4");
else if(TOTAL_RAW <= 92 && TOTAL_RAW >=73)
System.out.println("Total RAW score is: " + TOTAL_RAW + " and your AP Score is 3");
