About the estimate: each AP score needs a different share of the weighted total, and College Board sets those cut scores each year without publishing them. This calculator uses approximate bands, so treat the 1–5 result as a guide, not a prediction.

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.
