Pianissimo–MC is 45% and FR is 55%. It varies with the test, but let’s say you got 35 multiple choice correct out of 55, skipped 10 and got 10 wrong. The MC score would be

35-2.5 ~= 32.5 * 1.2500 = 41.

The score for a 5 is around 100-110, let’s say it’s 105, so you would need 64 points total on the FR. The formula for FR is

(Essay1+Essay2+Essay3)*3.0556 where Essay1, etc refer to the score out of 9 of each essay. Therefore, if you need 64 points, you would need a total of 21 or so points on the essays, meaning a sample score could be 8-7-6. This is the bare minimum for a 5. For a 4, it is usually around 90-95 points.
