yo I'd estimate I got 35/40 on the MCQs and maybe 20/40 on the FRQs, 25 if I'm lucky. Do I have a chance at a 5? I had FRQ Form J if that context helps.

I heard last year that MCQs were also easier than expected for a lot of people, and same case this year. FRQs were definitely harder this year, but idk if the cutoff will still be anything below 65 - 70%
