How hard is the physics accreditation test?

I took AP Physics B (4), AP Physics C Mech (4) and opted to not take E&M because I didn’t know the implications and it wasn’t required from my class.

I am another boring econ major who doesn’t want to touch physical sciences classes again.

I know I get credit for 12100 for my mechanics score…but I need 12200 to complete gen. ed and 12300 for majoring in economics.

How hard is the test? I am a bit rusty on E&M but…my friends said E&M was really easy and statistically the top ~60% of people who take it would get a 4/5 (or credit through 12300). Will Chicago pity my soul or will they give me a really hard vector calculus test?

I guess this assumes that the test is still even offered.
