Estimate your AP score (1–5) from raw MCQ and FRQ points. Based on publicly available College Board scoring information.
The AP Calculus exam has two sections: MCQ (45 questions, worth 50% of your score) and FRQ (6 questions, worth 50%). The composite raw score maps to a 1–5 scale via a curve that changes each year. This calculator uses a representative curve based on publicly available College Board data. Exact cutoffs vary by year.
No penalty for wrong answers. Each correct = 1 raw point.
| AP Score | Composite Raw Range (approx.) | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 76–108 | Extremely well qualified |
| 4 | 58–75 | Well qualified |
| 3 | 42–57 | Qualified |
| 2 | 28–41 | Possibly qualified |
| 1 | 0–27 | No recommendation |
Score cutoffs shift each year. This table reflects a representative recent curve. Source: publicly available College Board score distributions.
BC exam takers also receive an AB subscore, calculated from the subset of questions covering AB-only content (Units 1–8). This calculator estimates the composite score; the AB subscore is computed separately by College Board.
