APUSH Score Calculator Online

An APUSH Score Calculator is a tool used to estimate a student’s final score on the AP U.S. History (APUSH) exam based on their performance in different sections of the test.

How It Works

The AP U.S. History exam consists of the following sections:

1. Multiple-Choice Section (MCQ)
   • 55 questions, worth 40% of the total score.
2. Short Answer Questions (SAQ)
   • 3 questions, worth 20% of the total score.
3. Document-Based Question (DBQ)
   • 1 question, worth 25% of the total score.
4. Long Essay Question (LEQ)
   • 1 question, worth 15% of the total score.

Steps the Calculator Follows:

1. User Inputs Scores:
   • The student enters their estimated raw scores for each section.
2. Weighted Score Calculation:
   • The tool applies College Board’s weighting system to calculate a total composite score.
3. Score Conversion:
   • The composite score is converted into the AP scale (1 to 5) using historical score distributions.
   • Example breakdown:
     • 5: 115+
     • 4: 90-114
     • 3: 65-89
     • 2: 45-64
     • 1: 0-44
