A tool designed to estimate Advanced Placement Latin exam scores uses raw point totals from multiple-choice and free-response sections. For example, a student might input the number of correctly answered multiple-choice questions and scores received on free-response essays to receive a projected final AP score (from 1 to 5). These tools do not represent official scores, which are determined solely by the College Board.
Such estimations offer students valuable insights into their potential performance. This allows for preemptive identification of areas needing improvement before the official results are released and can inform decisions about potential college credit. While score estimations have become increasingly prevalent with online resources, their underlying methodologies have consistently relied on the College Board’s publicly available scoring guidelines.
