How AP scores are calculated
Your raw results in each section are weighted and added into a composite score, which College Board converts to the 1-5 scale. The cut-offs are set for each exam every year so that a score means the same standard, and they aren't published. Use your weighted score to track progress between practice exams and to see which section costs you most.
