A tool exists to estimate performance on the Advanced Placement Precalculus exam. This resource typically accepts expected raw scores from multiple-choice and free-response sections as inputs. It then applies the College Board’s scoring algorithms (or approximations thereof) to generate a projected final AP score, ranging from 1 to 5. For example, a student who correctly answers a certain number of multiple-choice questions and earns specific points on the free-response section could use this tool to see if their performance is likely to earn a passing score.
This estimation resource is valuable for students preparing for the examination. It provides a method for gauging progress during study sessions and practice tests. This offers insight into areas where additional focus may be required. Historically, students had to rely on previously released score distributions and complex calculations to approximate their potential AP score. This tool offers a more convenient and accessible alternative.
