Frequently Asked Questions
40 multiple-choice questions make up 50% of the composite score (50 points). 6 free-response questions — 5 regular FRQs plus an Investigative Task — are each worth 4 points (24 raw total), scaled to the other 50% (50 points), for a composite total of 100.
Roughly 71 or more out of 100 composite points typically earns a 5 (recent aggregate data). A 4 usually starts around 62, a 3 around 51, and a 2 around 41.
Question 6 on the exam is a longer, multi-part 'Investigative Task' that asks you to apply statistical reasoning to a new scenario. It's scored the same way as the other FRQs (out of 4 points).
No. College Board does not publish exact current-year cutoffs before scores are released. This calculator uses recent historical data for an estimate.

Example: 28 MCQ correct (out of 40) and 16 FRQ points (out of 24) gives a composite of (28/40)×50 + (16/24)×50 = 35 + 33.3 = 68.3 — in the 4 range.
