AP Calculus AB Score Calculator
The AP Calculus AB exam is scored from a weighted mix of 45 multiple-choice questions and 6 free-response questions — FRQ 1 (9 pts), FRQ 2 (9 pts), FRQ 3 (9 pts), FRQ 4 (9 pts), FRQ 5 (9 pts), FRQ 6 (9 pts). As a worked example, a strong practice run of 38 of 45 MCQ correct plus full free-response credit gives a composite of about 100 out of 108, a predicted 5. Enter your own multiple-choice count and free-response points to estimate your 1–5 instantly. Remember AP cut points re-curve every year, so this is a study estimate, not an official College Board result. Free, private, and browser-only.
Calculus AB: 45 MCQ (weight 1.2) + 6 FRQ → composite out of ~108
- Estimated cut points — 5: ≥76, 4: ≥59, 3: ≥43, 2: ≥27
- Worked example: 38/45 MCQ + full FRQ ≈ composite 100 of 108 → predicted 5
Frequently asked questions
How is the AP Calculus AB exam scored?
AP Calculus AB combines 45 multiple-choice questions (each correct answer weighted by 1.2, no penalty for wrong answers) with 6 free-response questions. The two halves add into a composite out of about 108; College Board then compares your composite against that year's cut points to award a 1–5. A composite near 100 would estimate a 5.
Is this predicted AP AP Calc AB score official?
No. College Board re-curves the cut points for AP Calculus AB at every administration based on the cohort and form difficulty, so the same composite can be a different score from year to year. The estimate here (5 needs ≈76, 4 needs ≈59) is a study aid — your official score comes from College Board at apstudents.collegeboard.org.
