Would an 8/10 be considered a 5? Would this year’s grading be in a higher standard or a lower one?
Welcome Samskrithi! To answer your question: We have no way to tell for sure. Educated/Best guess? Probably, but honestly? We don’t know for sure because they haven’t graded the DBQs to let us know. Thanks for taking the time to ask!
short answer: we don’t know 
long answer: we expect responses to be scored with the same rigor as they have in previous years so no harder or no lower

No one has that answer yet. We do know that you do not need to earn all 10 points to earn a 5. Good luck tomorrow!
No one is exactly sure yet, so I can’t give you a certain answer! However, an 8/10 will definitely earn a high score.
No one knows. I hope that an 8/10 is a 5! But that is just hope! Two AP Readers are grading thus there might be even 8.5 threshold. no one knows for now!
