A tool designed to estimate performance on the Advanced Placement Psychology exam. These resources typically allow students to input their anticipated performance on the multiple-choice and free-response sections to project a potential final AP score. For example, a student might enter a projected number of correct multiple-choice questions and estimated scores for each free-response question to receive an estimated final score.
These tools offer several benefits to students preparing for the exam. They provide a tangible sense of progress, allowing students to track their improvement over time. Moreover, they help students identify areas of strength and weakness, encouraging them to focus their study efforts more effectively. Historically, these calculators have evolved from simple hand-calculated estimations to more sophisticated online tools that incorporate the College Board’s scoring guidelines.
