Limits and Important Notes
How the APUSH Score Predictor Works
Each section percentage is multiplied by its official exam weight: MCQ 40%, SAQ 20%, DBQ 25%, and LEQ 15%.
The contributions form a 100-point composite that is compared with adjustable estimated score boundaries.
Formula
Composite = MCQ% × 0.40 + SAQ% × 0.20 + DBQ% × 0.25 + LEQ% × 0.15
Example
Section results of 80%, 70%, 75%, and 65% produce a composite of 74.0%.
- The predicted AP score is an estimate, not an official College Board 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.
- AP history question and rubric updates apply beginning with the May 2027 exam; match the possible points to your practice materials.
- Essay rubric scoring requires judgment, so use the scoring guide supplied with each question.
