is it necessary to get everything near-perfect to get a 5 on AP CHEM?

<p>i know it’s not necessary to get everything perfect to get a 5 on ap chem.however,a 5 is my target score.so far i have done some past-ap free response questions from collegeboard,and i did NOT do so well.i usually get like 7 out of 10,or 10 out of 15 on the FR.(and my raw score was a 4x on the MC part.)SO,do you think it’s possible for me to get a 5 with these scores???</p>

<p>The curve is extremely lenient. I took a practice test and was in the 5 range, even though I guessed and got 20 wrong.</p>

<p>^^20 on MC?</p>

<p>There you go</p>

<p>I heard that you only need 60-65% of all questions right to get a 5. idk</p>

<p>Its fairly lenient. I remember coming out of the test feeling pretty confident on the MC, but I felt like that I had bombed the FRQs. In fact I know that I barely received points on a few questions. I think the curve is slightly higher in chem than other APs, but I might be wrong (~70%?). Either way you don’t need a near-perfect in order to receive a 5.</p>

<p>@yip: Yes, I missed 20 on the MC portion. 80% of those in my range got a 5, so long as they did adequately on the writing section.</p>

<p>does anyone know what range you need to get in order for a 4?</p>

<p>if you can get at least a 5/7 on the multiple choice as well as the FR, you should be fine. check percentages, that’s how i do my calculations.</p>
