Scoring Formulas
The AP Human Geography final score is a weighted combination of your Multiple Choice and Free Response scores. The formulas are as follows:
$$ \text{Weighted MC} = (\text{MC Score} / 60) \times 50 $$ $$ \text{Weighted FRQ} = ((\text{FRQ1} + \text{FRQ2} + \text{FRQ3}) / 21) \times 50 $$ $$ \text{Composite Score} = \text{Weighted MC} + \text{Weighted FRQ} $$
The final AP Score is then determined by mapping the Composite Score to the official AP scale.
How It Works
This calculator uses scoring guidelines released by the College Board, based on historical exam data. The weights for the Multiple Choice (50%) and Free Response (50%) sections are standardized. The final AP score is a projection based on where your composite score falls within a range of historical cutoffs. This tool is intended for predictive purposes and provides an excellent estimate, but it is not an official result.
