The AP Score Calculator converts a practice-exam raw score into a predicted 1–5, showing the composite percentage, the bands used and exactly how far the student is from the next score up. No AI, unlimited use.

Step by step
- Enter the multiple-choice score (correct / total) and the free-response points (earned / total).
- Set the MCQ weight — 50/50 is right for most AP exams.
- Pick a curve: typical, lenient (for notoriously hard exams) or strict.
- Press ⚡ Create to see the predicted score and the gap to the next one.
Tips
- 💡 ⚠ The College Board does not publish current cut-offs and they shift every year — this is an ESTIMATE for motivation and pacing, never a promise.
- 💡 The "how far to the next score" line is the most motivating part for students — it makes a 3 feel one step from a 4.
Example
40/60 MCQ + 20/30 FRQ at 50/50 weighting → composite ~66.7%, predicted score 4 on the typical curve.
