Curve for AP Chem?

Does anyone know what percentage you typically have to get on the AP Chemistry test for a 4 or a 5?

About 73-75% will get you a 5. 60-63% will get you a four.
this is the official average but of course if the exam was extremely easy this year this number can easily climb to a 80% for a five depending on how well people do. College Board always wants the same % of ppl to get fives.

from what i've seen on practice tests, a 101 out of 150 is usually the limit for a 5.. that's a 67%.. give or take a couple of points of course.. but 101 is a good sweet spot for a 5

so far i've gotten two 5's and one 4 on practice tests... using the 101 curve model, i got a 114 (a 5), a 97 (terrible MC and a couple bad FR) (a 4), and a 118 (a 5)... so i hope i get at least 110 points out of 150 to ensure myself a 5
