Sources: 55 multiple-choice questions (40%), 3 short-answer questions (20%), the DBQ (25%) and the long essay (15%) from the May 2027 exam format; 3 points per short answer, 7 for the DBQ and 6 for the long essay from College Board's 2025 Scoring Statistics. The rubrics are unchanged for 2027. From May 2027 you answer all 3 short-answer questions and one required long essay, with no choice. The rubrics and section weights stay the same.

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.
