AP Statistics Score Calculator

The AP Statistics exam is scored from a weighted mix of 40 multiple-choice questions and 6 free-response questions — FRQ 1 (4 pts), FRQ 2 (4 pts), FRQ 3 (4 pts), FRQ 4 (4 pts), FRQ 5 (4 pts), Investigative task (FRQ 6) (8 pts). As a worked example, a strong practice run of 34 of 40 MCQ correct plus full free-response credit gives a composite of about 62 out of 68, 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.

Frequently asked questions

How is the AP Statistics exam scored?

AP Statistics combines 40 multiple-choice questions (each correct answer weighted by 1, no penalty for wrong answers) with 6 free-response questions. The two halves add into a composite out of about 68; College Board then compares your composite against that year's cut points to award a 1–5. A composite near 62 would estimate a 5.

Is this predicted AP AP Stats score official?

No. College Board re-curves the cut points for AP Statistics 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 ≈48, 4 needs ≈37) is a study aid — your official score comes from College Board at apstudents.collegeboard.org.
