AP Calculus AB Score Calculator
The AP Calculus AB exam is a rigorous test designed to assess your understanding of differential and integral calculus. Scoring well on this exam can earn you college credit, saving you time and money. This calculator helps you estimate your potential score based on your performance in different sections of the exam.
The AP Calculus AB exam is divided into two main sections:
- Section I: Multiple Choice This section consists of non-calculator and calculator portions.
- Section II: Free Response This section includes both question types that require a calculator and those that do not.
Your raw scores from these sections are converted into a scaled score from 1 to 5. A score of 3 or higher is typically considered a passing score for college credit.
To use this calculator, input your estimated number of correct answers for each subsection of the AP Calculus AB exam. The calculator will then provide an estimated scaled score.
