How to Use the AP World Exam Calculator
- Enter your Multiple-Choice correct count (0–55). This is the number of questions you answered correctly out of 55.
- Enter your Short Answer Question (SAQ) points (0–9). This is your total score from the three SAQs.
- Enter your Document-Based Question (DBQ) points (0–7). This is your rubric-based score for the DBQ essay.
- Enter your Long Essay Question (LEQ) points (0–6). This is your rubric-based score for the LEQ essay.
- Click "Calculate Score". The calculator will compute your composite score and show your predicted AP score (1–5).
Formula used: Composite = (MCQ Correct × 1.125) + (SAQ Points × 2.5) + (DBQ Points × 5.357) + (LEQ Points × 3.75). The AP score is then determined by standard thresholds: 5 (≥100), 4 (80–99), 3 (60–79), 2 (40–59), 1 (<40).
Tip: All inputs must be within their allowed ranges. The calculator will validate your entries automatically.
