HIGHLIGHT

May 2011 AP Exams

Beginning in May 2011, there was a change to the way multiple-choice scores are calculated.  

Learn more.

The 1 to 5 scale

Each AP Exam score is a weighted combination of the student's scores on the multiple-choice section and the free-response section. The final score is reported on a 5-point scale:

5 = extremely well qualified
4 = well qualified
3 = qualified
2 = possibly qualified
1 = no recommendation
