About APUSH Calculator
Empowering students with accurate AP US History score predictions and study insights.
Our Mission
The APUSH Score Calculator was created to help students understand their current performance level and predict their likely AP US History exam score. We believe that accurate self-assessment is crucial for effective exam preparation and student success.
How It Works
Our calculator uses the official AP US History exam scoring methodology. You input your estimated performance on each section (MCQ, SAQ, DBQ, and LEQ), and we calculate your composite score based on the weighted percentages used by the College Board. The result gives you a predicted AP score from 1 to 5.
Scoring Methodology
The AP US History exam consists of four sections with different weights:
• Multiple Choice Questions (40%) - 55 questions
• Short Answer Questions (20%) - 3 questions (9 points total)
• Document-Based Question (25%) - 1 question (7 points)
• Long Essay Question (15%) - 1 question (6 points)
Understanding Your Score
AP scores range from 1 to 5:
• 5 - Extremely Well Qualified (75-100%)
• 4 - Well Qualified (60-74%)
• 3 - Qualified (45-59%)
• 2 - Possibly Qualified (30-44%)
• 1 - No Recommendation (0-29%)
