How the AP Stats 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 100-point composite that College Board's 2012 chart uses.
| Section | Raw score | Share of AP score | Composite points (of 100) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice | 0 to 42 | 50% | 50 |
| Free response, question 1 | 0 to 10 | 12.5% (our split: a quarter of the 50%) | 12.5 |
| Free response, question 2 | 0 to 10 | 12.5% (our split: a quarter of the 50%) | 12.5 |
| Free response, question 3 (inference) | 0 to 10 | 12.5% (our split: a quarter of the 50%) | 12.5 |
| Free response, question 4 | 0 to 10 | 12.5% (our split: a quarter of the 50%) | 12.5 |
Composite score to AP score (estimate)
These cut points are from the 2012 AP Statistics practice exam, the most recent public conversion chart we found for this course. In 2012 the exam had 40 multiple-choice questions and 6 free-response questions, including an investigative task. The halves were still worth 50% each, so we apply the 2012 cut points to the same 100-point composite. College Board re-sets the cut points every year, so your exam's lines may differ.
| Composite score (of 100) | Estimated AP score |
|---|---|
| 70 to 100 | 5 |
| 57 to 69 | 4 |
| 44 to 56 | 3 |
| 33 to 43 | 2 |
| 0 to 32 | 1 |
