How AP exams are scored

Each AP exam has a multiple-choice section and a free-response section, and each section is a set share of your score (for example 50% / 50%, or 60% / 40%). Your points in each section are combined into a weighted total, which College Board converts to an AP score from 1 to 5.

Every calculator here uses the official section weights and question counts for the May 2027 exams, and free-response point values from College Board's published scoring statistics.

About the 1–5 estimate

College Board sets the cut scores for each AP score every year and doesn't publish them. These calculators use approximate bands (about 70% of the weighted total for a 5, 55% for a 4 and 40% for a 3), so treat the result as a guide to how close you are, not a prediction.
