How AP Scoring Works
AP exams are reported on a scale from 1 to 5. Official component weights differ by subject, and College Board establishes score standards through a formal standard-setting process rather than one universal public percentage table.
| Score | Qualification | College Credit |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Extremely well qualified | Most colleges |
| 4 | Well qualified | Most colleges |
| 3 | Qualified | Many colleges |
| 2 | Possibly qualified | Rarely |
| 1 | No recommendation | No |
