How the AP Psych exam is scored
Each section counts for a fixed share of your score, from the 2027 exam format on AP Students. The calculator turns those shares into points on the 150-point composite that College Board's 2012 chart uses.
| Section | Raw score | Share of AP score | Composite points (of 150) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice | 0 to 75 | 66.7% | 100 |
| Article Analysis Question (AAQ) | 0 to 7 | 16.7% (our split: half of the 33.3%) | 25 |
| Evidence-Based Question (EBQ) | 0 to 7 | 16.7% (our split: half of the 33.3%) | 25 |
Composite score to AP score (estimate)
These cut points are from the 2012 AP Psychology practice exam, the most recent public conversion chart we found for this course. In 2012 the exam had 100 multiple-choice questions and two different free-response questions, each worth 7 points. Multiple choice was still two thirds of the score, so we apply the 2012 cut points to the same 150-point composite. College Board re-sets the cut points every year, so your exam's lines may differ.
| Composite score (of 150) | Estimated AP score |
|---|---|
| 112 to 150 | 5 |
| 94 to 111 | 4 |
| 79 to 93 | 3 |
| 65 to 78 | 2 |
| 0 to 64 | 1 |
