Chances on Getting a 5? (Calc AB)

I think I did really well on the multiple choice section (~40 correct), but I really dropped the ball on Free Response, likely getting only half or a little more right. This puts me right in the cut-off range using past curves, how do you guys think I'll do?

I'll be pretty embarassed if I get a 4 because most people I'm friends with are confident they're going to get 5s and are confident about their answers on the Free Response as well. I thought I was on track too until I opened that pink booklet.

Hey I'm in the same boat as you. Depending on where the curve is I might get a 5 or I might get a 4. On all the practice tests I took I managed to pull off 5's, but todays was not that easy. If its a 60-65cut off then I think I'll probably manage, but if they make it around 70 then I have no idea.

M/C = [(# Answered Correctly) - (# Answered Incorrectly)/4] * 1.2
Free Response = 6 questions at 9 points each

Each section is 54, making a total of 108 possible points.

On the curve I saw, ~70/108 got you a 5.

I got anywhere between 46 and 51 points on the M/C and anywhere between 25 and 35 points on Free Response, in my estimate.
