About what percentage do you need to score a 5 on the AP Calculus BC exam this May?
The percentage of students who pass the AP Calculus exam varies each year, but on average, it is around 60-70%. However, this number can be influenced by various factors such as the difficulty of the exam and the preparation of the students.
The percentage of students passing the AP Calculus exam is generally higher than other AP exams. For example, in 2020, the percentage of students passing the AP Calculus AB exam was 57.5% while the percentage passing the AP Chemistry exam was 51.1%.
In recent years, approximately 20-25% of students who take the AP Calculus exam receive a score of 5, which is the highest possible score. This percentage has been increasing over the years as more students have been taking the exam and preparing for it.
Yes, the percentage of students passing the AP Calculus AB exam is typically higher than the BC exam. This is because the AB exam covers less material and is generally seen as slightly easier. In 2020, the percentage of students passing the AB exam was 57.5% while the percentage passing the BC exam was 43.6%.
The percentage of students passing the AP Calculus exam is generally higher than the pass rate for college-level calculus courses. This is because students who take the AP Calculus exam have chosen to take a more rigorous and challenging course, while college-level calculus courses are often taken by a wider range of students with varying levels of preparation. Additionally, the AP exam allows students to receive college credit if they pass, while college courses require a passing grade to earn credit.
