Limits and Important Notes
How an AP Score Is Estimated
Each raw section result is divided by its possible points and multiplied by the section weight. The contributions are added to create a composite percentage.
The composite is compared with editable estimated cut scores for 5, 4, 3, and 2. Official score setting is more complex and exam-specific.
Formula
Composite = Σ(points earned ÷ points possible × section weight)
Example
An 80% multiple-choice result and a 70% free-response result with equal weights produce a 75% composite estimate.
- The estimated 1–5 score is not an official College Board score or guaranteed conversion.
- Current default planning cutoffs are 5 ≥ 75%, 4 ≥ 60%, 3 ≥ 45%, and 2 ≥ 30%. They are estimates and can be adjusted in Advanced scoring settings.
- Exam structures and score standards can change by course, form, and year.
- Use a course-specific calculator when the exam has more than two separately weighted parts.
