Understanding Your AP World History: Modern Score

The AP World History: Modern exam is designed to assess your understanding of historical developments, forces, and events from approximately 1200 CE to the present. Your score is determined by your performance on two main sections: the Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ) and the Free-Response Questions (FRQ).

Multiple-Choice Section: This section typically consists of 55 questions, and your performance here is weighted significantly. The questions are often accompanied by stimulus material, such as primary or secondary source documents, images, maps, or graphs.

Free-Response Section: This section includes several types of essays, such as the Document-Based Question (DBQ), the Long Essay Question (LEQ), and short-answer questions (though the format can evolve year to year). Each FRQ is graded on a rubric, with points awarded for historical thinking skills, argumentation, and use of evidence. In this calculator, we approximate the FRQ section score by summing the points from individual questions, assuming a standard scoring model for grading.

Scoring Conversion: After your raw scores from the MCQ and FRQ sections are calculated, they are converted into a scaled score from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest. This calculator provides an *estimation* of your scaled score based on publicly available information about the exam's weighting and typical scoring curves. The actual conversion can vary slightly year to year.
