AP Psychology Score Calculator
The AP Psychology exam is scored from a weighted mix of 75 multiple-choice questions and 2 free-response questions — Article analysis (AAQ) (7 pts), Evidence-based (EBQ) (7 pts). As a worked example, a strong practice run of 64 of 75 MCQ correct plus full free-response credit gives a composite of about 65 out of 74, a predicted 5. Enter your own multiple-choice count and free-response points to estimate your 1–5 instantly. Remember AP cut points re-curve every year, so this is a study estimate, not an official College Board result. Free, private, and browser-only.

Frequently asked questions
How is the AP Psychology exam scored?
AP Psychology combines 75 multiple-choice questions (each correct answer weighted by 0.8, no penalty for wrong answers) with 2 free-response questions. The two halves add into a composite out of about 74; College Board then compares your composite against that year's cut points to award a 1–5. A composite near 65 would estimate a 5.
Is this predicted AP AP Psych score official?
No. College Board re-curves the cut points for AP Psychology at every administration based on the cohort and form difficulty, so the same composite can be a different score from year to year. The estimate here (5 needs ≈52, 4 needs ≈41) is a study aid — your official score comes from College Board at apstudents.collegeboard.org.
