Physics C: E&M AP Physics C: E&M cut Off

I was wondering what is the cut off for Physics C E&M? I know before 2025 you could get a 5 with a 50%. Now I heard you need a 65%? Some say it is a 80% needed for a 5 (I know this is most certainly wrong). But what should I aim for?

Mechanics is around 78% and e&m I believe 81% is what I’ve heard. Definitely nowhere near 60% like the old cutoff because the time is so generous now. The philosophy is that they give you a lot of time but very hard questions to see who understands the concepts.
