Frequently Asked Questions
Are AP score estimates official?
No. College Board issues official AP English Literature scores. This calculator estimates from published weights only.
Do you include released exam questions?
No. Only section counts, weights, and rubric maxima needed to score an estimate are stored.
What if 75% always meant a 5?
It does not. Do not treat a percentage as a guaranteed 5. Cut scores are not published here as official thresholds.
