How we convert raw points to scaled scores
- Multiple‑choice: 60 questions, counts for 66 % of the composite.
- Free‑response: 3 questions (1 long, 2 short) worth 33 % total.
- Composite scaled to 90 points (MCQ 60, FRQ 30). We average the last three curves to map composite → 5‑point scale.
2025 raw‑score → scaled‑score chart (estimate)
| Composite (0‑90) | Predicted AP Score |
|---|---|
| 75 – 90 | 5 |
| 62 – 74 | 4 |
| 50 – 61 | 3 |
| 39 – 49 | 2 |
| 0 – 38 | 1 |
Cut‑offs based on College Board score distributions (2022‑2024); expect small annual shifts.
Study tips to earn a 5
- Draw and label every graph: supply & demand, cost curves, market structures, factor markets.
- Memorise TRIBE & ROTTEN determinants to predict curve shifts quickly.
- In FRQs, use ACE format (Answer, Cite graph, Explain) to score analysis points.
- Practise elasticity calculations & tax/subsidy incidence problems until they are second nature.
