What Is APUSH Score Calculator?
The APUSH Score Calculator is a practice-score predictor for AP U.S. History. It combines multiple-choice, short-answer, document-based question, and long-essay performance instead of treating every raw point as equal.
The calculator applies the published 40%, 20%, 25%, and 15% section weights. The final 1–5 prediction uses editable planning thresholds because official score standards are not a fixed public conversion table.

How the APUSH Score Predictor Works
Each section percentage is multiplied by its official exam weight: MCQ 40%, SAQ 20%, DBQ 25%, and LEQ 15%.
The contributions form a 100-point composite that is compared with adjustable estimated score boundaries.
Composite = MCQ% × 0.40 + SAQ% × 0.20 + DBQ% × 0.25 + LEQ% × 0.15
Example
Section results of 80%, 70%, 75%, and 65% produce a composite of 74.0%.
