Frequently Asked Questions
The composite score is calculated using a formula that combines a weighted multiple-choice score (correct minus 0.25 per wrong) and the sum of three essay scores (each out of 9) with specific weights. The composite is then mapped to an AP score of 1-5.
The maximum composite score is approximately 150, with 45 multiple-choice questions and three essays each scored 0-9.
This calculator provides an estimate based on typical scoring guidelines. Actual AP scores may vary due to curve adjustments.
