How AP Scoring Works

Advanced Placement (AP) exams are scored on a 1-5 scale. Your raw score from multiple choice and free response sections is converted to this scale through a process called "equating" that accounts for exam difficulty.

  • Multiple Choice: 35 questions worth 50%
  • Free Response: 3 questions (45 total points) worth 50%

Most colleges grant credit or advanced placement for scores of 3 or higher, though selective institutions may require a 4 or 5. Check your target colleges' AP credit policies for specific requirements.
