AP Calculus AB
50% MC + 50% FRQ across 45 multiple choice and 6 free response questions. Covers limits, derivatives, and integrals — equivalent to first-semester college calc.

AP Math & Computer Science Score Calculators
Project your AP score for any of the six AP math or computer science exams. Each calculator uses the latest section weights and historical composite cutoffs to map your raw performance to a 1-5 prediction.
AP Calculus BC
Extends AB with series, parametric, polar, and vector calculus. Same 50/50 weight, 45 MC + 6 FRQ — but with the steepest content density of any AP math exam.
Open calculatorAP Precalculus
The newest AP math exam, launched 2023-24. 62% MC + 38% FRQ across 40 multiple choice and 4 FRQs. A bridge for students not ready for AB.
Open calculatorAP Statistics
50% MC + 50% FRQ across 40 multiple choice and 6 FRQs (5 short + 1 investigative task). Heavier on writing than any other AP math exam.
Open calculatorAP Computer Science A
50% MC + 50% FRQ across 40 multiple choice and 4 free response questions. Java-based, with one of the highest 5-rates of any AP exam (~25%).
Open calculatorAP Computer Science Principles
70% end-of-course exam + 30% Create Performance Task. Lighter coding load than CSA — covers algorithms, the internet, data, and digital impact.
Open calculatorPicking between AP math exams
The biggest fork is AP Calculus AB vs BC. BC covers everything in AB plus series, parametric, polar, and vector calculus — roughly 1.5x the content in the same exam time. Strong students who've moved fast through high school math can take BC and earn a separate AB subscore. AP Statistics is a parallel track: it doesn't compete with calculus, it complements it, and many students take both. AP Precalculus is for students who want an AP math course but aren't ready for AB.
Computer Science A vs Computer Science Principles
CSA is a focused programming course in Java with object-oriented design and traditional CS data structures. CSP is broader and lighter on code — it covers algorithms conceptually, internet protocols, data, and the social impact of computing, and includes a Create performance task that's submitted in advance. CSA is the right pick if you want a programming foundation; CSP is the right pick if you want exposure to computing without a heavy code workload.
How AP math exams are scored
All six exams use a composite-score model. Raw multiple-choice and free-response scores are combined using section weights, then mapped to a 1-5 score against composite cutoffs. CSP is unique — the Create performance task is submitted in advance and weighted at 30%, with the on-paper exam at 70%. The cutoffs are well-estimated from released scoring worksheets; each calculator on this page uses subject-specific cutoffs sourced from those references.
