Frequently Asked Questions
The composite score is calculated as: (MC correct × 1.125) + (SAQ points × 2.5) + (DBQ points × 5.0) + (LEQ points × 3.75). This composite is then mapped to a 1-5 AP score using approximate cutoffs.
Approximate cutoffs: Composite ≥ 100 → AP 5; 80-99 → AP 4; 60-79 → AP 3; 40-59 → AP 2; <40 → AP 1.
No, each section has a different weight. The weights reflect the approximate contribution of each section to the composite score as per College Board guidelines.
