AP Precalculus Score Calculator
Enter your multiple-choice count and free-response points to estimate your AP Precalculus weighted composite and predicted 1–5.
AP Precalculus has 40 multiple-choice questions worth 62.5% of your score and four free-response questions worth the remaining 37.5%. Because the two sections carry different weights, this calculator converts each to a percentage of its section, applies the official weights, and adds them to a 100-point composite before estimating your 1–5.
How AP Precalculus is scored
The multiple-choice section is split into Part A (28 questions, no calculator) and Part B (12 questions, graphing calculator required), pooled into one 40-point section. The four free-response questions are worth 6 points each, 24 in total, and also include calculator and no-calculator parts.
FRQ weighted = (FRQ points ÷ 24) × 37.5
Composite = MC weighted + FRQ weighted (out of 100)
| Section | Raw | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Multiple choice — Part A | 28 questions (no calculator) | 43.75% |
| Multiple choice — Part B | 12 questions (calculator) | 18.75% |
| Free response | 4 questions × 6 points (24) | 37.5% |
Composite score to AP score (estimated)
The College Board doesn't publish official cut scores, and because AP Precalculus is a newer exam its lines may shift more than older subjects. These commonly cited estimates are what this calculator uses.
| AP Score | Composite (out of 100) |
|---|---|
| 5 | 65 – 100 |
| 4 | 50 – 64 |
| 3 | 35 – 49 |
| 2 | 22 – 34 |
| 1 | 0 – 21 |
Worked example
30 of 40 multiple choice and 16 of 24 free-response points:
| MC = (30 ÷ 40) × 62.5 | 46.9 |
| FRQ = (16 ÷ 24) × 37.5 | 25.0 |
| Composite = 46.9 + 25.0 | 72 → score of 5 |
Calculator and no-calculator parts
Roughly two-thirds of the exam is done without a calculator. On multiple choice, the 28-question Part A is no-calculator and the 12-question Part B requires a graphing calculator; on free response, two questions allow a calculator and two do not. Every multiple-choice question counts the same toward the 40-point section regardless of part.
