How the AP Euro Score Calculator Works
This AP European History calculator estimates your 2025 AP score using the College Board’s historical scoring data for USA students. Enter your raw scores for each section and get your predicted composite score.
- MCQ: 55 questions, counts for 40% of total score
- SAQs: 3 prompts, counts for 20% of total score
- DBQ: 1 prompt, counts for 25% of total score
- LEQ: 1 prompt, counts for 15% of total score
Formula:
Total Score = (MCQ / 55 * 52) + (SAQ / 9 * 26) + (DBQ / 7 * 32.5) + (LEQ / 6 * 15.5)
Composite score out of 130 is mapped to the AP 5-point scale.
