Disclaimer: Estimates only—final scores depend on College Board scaling.
How we convert raw points to scaled scores
- Multiple‑choice: 50 questions, counts for 50 % of the composite.
- Free‑response: 4 questions (Experimental Design, Quantitative/Qualitative Translation, Short Answer ×2) worth 50 %.
- Composite scaled to 100 points (MCQ 50, FRQ 50). We average the last three curves to map composite → 5‑point scale.
2025 raw‑score → scaled‑score chart (estimate)
| Composite (0‑100) | Predicted AP Score |
|---|---|
| 70 – 100 | 5 |
| 54 – 69 | 4 |
| 40 – 53 | 3 |
| 25 – 39 | 2 |
| 0 – 24 | 1 |
Cut‑offs based on College Board score distributions (2022‑2024); expect minor annual shifts.
Study tips to earn a 5
- Master fluid mechanics & thermodynamics—commonly under‑studied sections.
- Sketch field diagrams for electrostatics & magnetism FRQs; label field lines & equipotentials.
- Memorise key relationships: PV = nRT, Q = mcΔT, C = Q/V, Φ = BAcosθ.
- Practise writing experimental design justifications: identify variables, control constants, safety note.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is guessing penalised on the MCQ?
No. There’s no wrong‑answer penalty—answer every question.
Which unit is hardest?
Many students struggle with Unit 3 (Electric Force, Field & Potential). Practise potential‑energy diagrams.
How accurate is this calculator?
Within ±1 score point for most students, based on recent curves.
