Scoring
  • Students who take the AP exam will get a score
    ranging from 1 to 5. The College Board defines
    the numbers as follows
  • 5 - Extremely well qualified to receive college
    credit
  • 4 - Well qualified to receive college credit
  • 3 - Qualified to receive college credit
  • 2 - Possibly qualified to receive college credit
  • 1 - No recommendation to receive college credit

Five Point Scale
  • The five-point scale, probably not
    coincidentally, can also be thought of in terms
    of letter grades
  • 5 - "A"
  • 4 - "B"
  • 3 - "C"
  • 2 - "D"
  • 1 - "F"
