What the 1-5 is based on
Approximation: the AP United States History - 2001 Released Exam (official worksheet) conversion chart expressed as a percentage of that form's maximum
Worked out from College Board - AP Chemistry 2008 Released Exam, revised Table 4.2 Scoring Worksheet and AP Score Conversion Chart and 17 other sources.
The College Board does not publish composite cut points for current exams, so the 1-5 here is an approximation borrowed from the 2001 released United States History exam chart.
How this is worked out
6 steps
- Multiple Choice (55 questions): 40 / 55 x 40% = 29.0909%
- Short Answer (3 questions x 3 points): 6 / 9 x 20% = 13.3333%
- Document-Based Question: 5 / 7 x 25% = 17.8571%
- Long Essay Question: 4 / 6 x 15% = 10%
- Weighted percentage of the maximum = 70.2814%.
- Cut points (percent): 5 at 66.111, 4 at 55, 3 at 46.111, 2 at 30 -> AP score 5.
