The AP® Calculus AB Score Calculator is a free tool that helps students estimate their final AP score (1–5) by inputting raw results from their Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Free Response Questions (FRQs). Built using College Board guidelines and historical score distributions, this calculator provides valuable insight into your exam readiness and helps you fine-tune your study plan.
The AP Calculus AB course is a college-level mathematics course that focuses on:
Limits and continuity
Differentiation
Applications of derivatives
Integration and accumulation of change
Differential equations and slope fields
Applications of integrals
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
Section | Type | Questions | Time | Weight |
---|---|---|---|---|
I-A | MCQ – No Calculator | 30 questions | 60 minutes | 33.3% |
I-B | MCQ – With Calculator | 15 questions | 45 minutes | 16.7% |
II-A | FRQ – With Calculator | 2 questions | 30 minutes | 16.7% |
II-B | FRQ – No Calculator | 4 questions | 60 minutes | 33.3% |
The calculator takes your raw section scores and computes a composite score (0–108), which is then mapped to the 1–5 AP scale using estimated thresholds based on past exams.
Section Type | Max Raw Score | Weight (%) |
---|---|---|
Multiple Choice | 45 questions | 50% |
Free Response | 6 questions | 50% |
Each MCQ question is worth 1 point. Each FRQ question is graded out of 9 points, totaling 54 raw points for FRQs and 54 for MCQs.
Composite Score | Predicted AP Score |
---|---|
80–108 | 5 |
65–79 | 4 |
50–64 | 3 |
35–49 | 2 |
Below 35 | 1 |
