Frequently Asked Questions
The composite score is computed as (MC Correct - 0.25 * MC Wrong) * 1.1111 + (Essay1 + Essay2 + Essay3) * 3.0556. The composite is then mapped to an AP score of 1-5.
The maximum composite score is approximately 180, corresponding to 45 correct MC and 9 on each essay.
Unanswered multiple-choice questions are not counted as wrong, so they do not incur a penalty. Only wrong answers subtract 0.25 point.
