How to Calculate AP Human Geography Score
The AP Human Geography score is calculated by combining raw scores from the multiple-choice and free-response sections of the exam. Each section contributes to the final scaled score.
1. Multiple-Choice Section:
- Number of Questions: 60 questions.
- Scoring: Each correct answer earns one point, with no penalty for incorrect answers.
- Raw Score: The total number of correct answers forms your raw score for this section, which accounts for 50% of your final score.
2. Free-Response Section:
- Number of Questions: 3 questions.
- Scoring: Each free-response question is scored on a scale from 0 to 7 points.
- Raw Score: The combined score from all three questions forms the raw score for this section, contributing 50% to your final score.
3. Converting Raw Scores to Scaled Scores:
- Combination: The raw scores from both sections are combined according to their weightings.
- Conversion: The combined raw score is 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, ensuring consistent and fair scoring across different test versions.
The final scaled score, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest), represents your overall performance on the AP Human Geography exam.
