A few questions to anyone that might know…

Does anyone have a rough idea of how you have to do on the multiple choice and essays to get a 5? (Judging on years past anyway.)
How stringently are the essay’s graded?
If I wrote my open question on a book that was a tough fit for the prompt, how much would that hurt?

Basically I’m looking at somewhere around 45-48 right, 7-10 wrong on multiple choice (out of 55). My essays were about 2 pages each with good analysis on the prose and poetry. Possible 7’s? Then my open question wasn’t too great; I wrote on Hamlet. Maybe a 6? About where will that come in terms of scoring?
