AP US Government and Politics Score Calculator

When an AP Exam is administered, psychometric analysis determines the score ranges corresponding with each AP Exam score (5, 4, 3, 2, and 1) based on a composite score scale that combines and weights the exam parts. Due to minor variations in exam difficulty, the number of points corresponding with each AP Exam score can vary on different exams. Because this practice exam was never administered, AP has developed these estimated score ranges that teachers can use to approximate AP Exam scores. We caution that these ranges, and the resulting AP Exam scores, are only estimates, and student performance on this practice exam does not necessarily predict performance on a different exam.
