Frequently Asked Questions
The composite score is calculated using approximate weights: Multiple Choice (1.125 per correct), Short Answer (2.5 per point), DBQ (5.555 per point), and LEQ (4.167 per point). The sum is rounded to one decimal.
AP scores range from 1 to 5. Typically, composite scores of 96+ yield a 5, 77-95 yield a 4, 58-76 yield a 3, 39-57 yield a 2, and below 39 yield a 1. These thresholds are approximate.
No, this calculator provides an estimate based on publicly available weighting guidelines. Official scores may vary due to curve adjustments.
