<p>As long as you get a 60% or above on the essays, you’re well into the 5 range. APUSH has one of the easier curves.</p>
<p>You can get that 56/80 and a 7/9 on your essays and be WELL Within a 5 range. Honestly people get so uptight about AP Exams except the only AP exam that is graded hard [besides languages] is AP US Government, all the other ones as long as you are able to pass the exam [meaning a 70% or above], you almost always automatically get a 5. If you get a C+ you should get a 5 no matter what. Trying to get a B- is just being an overachiever.</p>
