Frequently Asked Questions
The composite score is calculated by weighting the multiple-choice section (60%) and the free-response section (40%). The multiple-choice raw score (out of 60) is converted to a percentage and multiplied by 60. The free-response total (out of 30) is converted to a percentage and multiplied by 40. The sum is the composite score, which is then mapped to an AP score of 1-5 using a typical curve.
Typical cutoffs are: 5: 48-60, 4: 36-47, 3: 24-35, 2: 12-23, 1: 0-11. These may vary slightly by year.
No, this calculator is specifically designed for AP Macroeconomics. Other exams have different scoring weights and curves.
