AP Statistics Score Calculator
The AP Statistics Score Calculator by Examples.com helps students estimate their exam scores by converting raw scores from multiple-choice and free-response sections into a scaled score, aiding in effective preparation.
How AP Statistics Score is Calculated
The AP Statistics score is determined by combining the results from two main sections: multiple-choice questions and free-response questions. Each section contributes to the final score.
1. Multiple-Choice Section:
- Number of Questions: 40 questions.
- Scoring: Each correct answer earns one point, with no penalty for incorrect answers.
- Raw Score: The total number of correct answers is your raw score for this section.
2. Free-Response Section:
- Number of Questions: 6 questions.
- Scoring: Each question is scored on a scale from 0 to 4 points, with one investigative task scored on a scale of 0 to 5 points.
- Raw Score: The scores from all six questions are added together to get your raw score for this section.
3. Converting Raw Scores to Scaled Scores:
- Combination: The raw scores from both sections are combined.
- Conversion: The combined raw score is then converted into a scaled score between 1 and 5 using a conversion table provided by the College Board.
- Adjustment: This process accounts for variations in exam difficulty to ensure fair and consistent scoring across different exam versions.
The final scaled score, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), reflects your overall performance on the AP Statistics exam.
