What Is AP Biology Score Calculator?
The AP Biology Score Calculator combines performance from the multiple-choice and free-response sections of an AP Bio practice exam. Each section contributes half of the weighted composite.
The default format provides 60 MCQ points and an editable FRQ total for the scoring guide in use. The predicted 1–5 score is a planning estimate rather than an official conversion.

How the AP Biology Score Is Estimated

Composite = MCQ% × 0.50 + FRQ% × 0.50
Example
48 of 60 MCQs and 25 of 36 FRQ points produce a composite of about 74.72%.
