How we convert raw points to scaled scores
- Multiple‑choice: 80 questions, counts for 60 % of the composite.
- Free‑response: 3 questions (1 Investigation, 1 Analysis, 1 Synthesis) worth 40 % total.
- Composite scaled to 130 points (MCQ 78, FRQ 52). We average the last three curves to map composite → 5‑point scale.
2025 raw‑score → scaled‑score chart (estimate)
| Composite (0‑130) | Predicted AP Score |
|---|---|
| 96 – 130 | 5 |
| 77 – 95 | 4 |
| 68 – 76 | 3 |
| 50 – 67 | 2 |
| 0 – 49 | 1 |
Cut‑offs based on College Board score distributions (2022‑2024); expect minor annual shifts.
Study tips to lock in a 5
- Master energy flow & biogeochemical cycles—link processes to real‑world impacts.
- Practise dimensional analysis for unit conversions (ppm ↔ mg/L).
- Cite legislation (Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act) in FRQ applications.
- Draw & label ecological footprints, population pyramids and supply/demand curves.
