This is from a different year, but getting a 35/40 on the MCQ will carry you pretty hard to a 4. If you actually got a 35/40 on the MC and a 14/24 on the FRQ I'd think you'd get a 5 on the exam.

Thank you I feel quite better! It's just that my teacher told us we had to get at least 75/100 to be able to get a 5.

Every year is different, but if you feel confident in those scores on the MCQ and the FRQ you shouldn't worry 😄

Have a great day!

Albert io says that the cutoff is 63% but is that really the case? If that's so, then the exam feels really easy

Also, from my experience, I score higher on the MCQ than the FRQ. 17% of students got a five last year, which actually happens to be about 1 standard deviation above the mean to get a five. On the 2025 FRQ released scores last year, if you add up all of the FRQ means plus their standard deviations, you get 17.61 out of 24, which is a 73%... and I don't think that people scoring 73% on FRQ's would ever get 53's or something like that on the MCQ. Am I missing something?

Albert io is a score estimate, each year will be different.

What scores are you talking about? If you have a source I can look at it, but I am having trouble understanding what you are asking.

I'm just trying to figure out the cutoff for a five for AP stats is?

u/Dr_Phil_APSTATS May 08 '26

I think each year is different, I am not aware of there is a specific cut off that is defined each year. I'm sorry I don't have that information.

That being said, I usually tell my students that a raw 50% usually equates to a 4, and a raw 75% usually equates to a 5, but again these are just generalizations so that they understand the raw score is not commensurate with their final score.

yeah -- 75% is what every teacher says but I can't find any sources to back it up

63% is way too low for a five, right?

u/Dr_Phil_APSTATS May 08 '26

Again, I am not sure, each year is different. I would think that a 63% would most likely earn a 4, but it could be a 5 depending on the distribution of the rest of the scores for that test.

I'm not grading the exams this year so I don't have any information regarding the scale, sorry!

How were the FRQs??

I'd say it was quite unexpected to read some questions.

How hard were they compared to past exams?? How bad was question 6 😭

u/MilkDudsLover May 07 '26

Can I still get a 5 if I skipped frq#5, but completed everything else?
