AP Computer Science Principles Score Calculator

The 70 multiple-choice questions are 70% of your score and the Create performance task, including the written responses you answer on exam day, is 30%. Your weighted total is converted to an AP score from 1 to 5.

On 6 rubric rows worth 1 point each: the video, the program requirements, written response 1 and the three parts of written response 2, according to College Board's 2025 scoring statistics.

College Board doesn't publish the exact cut scores. As a rough guide, this calculator estimates a 5 from about 70% of the weighted total. In May 2025, 10.7% of students scored a 5 and 61.9% scored 3 or higher.

The weighted total uses the official section weights and point values. College Board sets the cut scores for each AP score every year and doesn't publish them, so the 1–5 result is an estimate.
