Frequently Asked Questions
The calculator uses a composite score based on your multiple-choice raw score (with a guessing penalty), SAQ total, DBQ, and LEQ. Each section is weighted proportionally to approximate the official exam scoring guidelines.
A score of 3 or higher is generally considered passing and may earn college credit. Scores of 4 or 5 are considered excellent and indicate strong performance.
This calculator provides an estimate based on typical scoring formulas. Actual AP scores may vary due to curve adjustments and other factors. Use it as a guide.
