How AP scoring works
Each exam combines a multiple-choice section and a free-response section into a weighted composite, then maps it to a 1–5 score. Cut-offs move a little each year, so these are estimates for 2025-26, not official cut scores. How we build them ›

Frequently asked
What is a passing AP score?
A 3 is the passing score on AP exams, set by the College Board, and is the most common minimum for college credit. Selective schools often require a 4 or 5.
How accurate is an AP score calculator?

When do AP scores come out?
AP exams are in May and scores usually release in early-to-mid July.
