The person behind the calculators
I'm an independent developer, and I build small, fast study tools. ExamScoreCalc is one of them. Estimate your AP, SAT, or ACT score, see exactly what you need for a 5, and get back to studying. No account, no pop-ups, no thousand-word essay before the calculator loads.
One job per tool, done fast
Most score-calculator sites bury a one-second estimate under ads, pop-ups, and a wall of text. I go the other way. Each calculator does one thing and loads right away.
Every AP tool carries the real exam structure, the question counts and the free-response weighting, because a 4 on AP Bio and a 4 on APUSH don't come from the same math. Cut-offs are estimated from publicly released College Board scoring worksheets, and the page tells you they're estimates, right next to your score.
I built the whole site on my own and I work on it full time. That's the only reason the tools stay quick and a feature request from a stranger gets read the same day.
What's official, and what's an estimate
No score calculator can hand you an official number. College Board doesn't publish the exact annual cut scores, and the digital SAT is adaptive. So I don't pretend. The exam formats here are official. The cut-offs are clearly-labeled estimates, refreshed each cycle from released scoring worksheets and recent score distributions.
If a number looks off, or you want a subject added, or a tool would save you a step, send it over. Small fixes usually ship the same week. Cut-offs last reviewed June 2026. Not affiliated with the College Board, ACT, or ETS. AP® is a trademark of the College Board.
Keep the calculators free, or get everything
Every calculator here is free and stays free. There's no paywall on the math, and there never will be. Two options if you want more than that.

Try the calculators first
The best way to decide if any of this is worth it is to use the thing. Estimate a score, see what you need for a 5, then come back if you want the rest.
