Frequently Asked Questions
The composite score is computed as a weighted average of your multiple-choice and free-response section percentages. The weights vary by subject (e.g., 50% MC, 50% FR for many exams). Then the composite is mapped to a 1-5 scale using approximate cutoffs.
The cutoffs are based on typical historical data and may vary by year and exam. This tool provides an estimate only. For official score determination, refer to College Board.
If your subject is not in the list, you can approximate by choosing a similar subject. The calculator uses generic weightings for many subjects.
