Adjust the sliders below to calculate your potential AP® score
The AP® Environmental Science Score Calculator (APES) is a digital tool designed to help students estimate their final AP score (1–5) by inputting raw scores from the Multiple Choice (MCQ) and Free Response (FRQ) sections. Whether you’re practicing with past tests or analyzing your mock exam results, this tool provides instant feedback, based on College Board-aligned scoring models.
The AP Environmental Science exam measures your knowledge of environmental processes, human impacts, and solutions for sustainability. Core topics include:
Ecosystems and energy flow
Biodiversity and populations
Pollution and climate change
Resource management
Environmental policies and ethics
Section | Type | Questions | Time | Weight |
---|---|---|---|---|
I | Multiple Choice (MCQ) | 80 questions | 90 minutes | 60% |
II | Free Response (FRQ) | 3 questions | 70 minutes | 40% |
FRQ Types:
Design an Investigation
Analyze an Environmental Problem + Propose Solution
Evaluate Environmental Data
This calculator takes your raw scores and applies official weighting and scaling to predict your composite score (0–100) and your final AP score (1 to 5).
Section | Raw Score Range | Weight (%) | Calculation Formula |
---|---|---|---|
MCQ | 0–80 | 60% | (Correct ÷ 80) × 60 |
FRQ | 0–30 | 40% | (Total ÷ 30) × 40 |
FRQ total = 10 points per question, with points awarded for logic, explanation, and accuracy.
Composite Score | Predicted AP Score |
---|---|
85–100 | 5 |
70–84 | 4 |
55–69 | 3 |
40–54 | 2 |
Below 40 | 1 |
⚠️ These estimates are based on historical data and can vary each year.
