Estimate AP exam score (1-5).
Predicting AP Scores
Advanced Placement (AP) exams are graded on a scale of 1 to 5. While the exact curve varies by year and subject, this tool estimates your score based on standard weightings.
How AP Scoring Works
- Each exam has a Multiple Choice (MCQ) and Free Response (FRQ) section.
- These sections are weighted (often 50/50 or 60/40) to create a composite raw score.
- The College Board converts this raw score into the final 1-5 score.
