AP Physics Score Calculators — Predict Your Exam Grade

Predict your AP Physics 1, 2, C Mechanics, and C E&M exam scores. Convert raw multiple-choice and free-response scores to the 1–5 scale using the latest scoring guidelines.

Understanding AP Physics Scoring

The AP Physics exams are among the most challenging Advanced Placement tests, with pass rates ranging from 45% for Physics 1 to about 70% for Physics C Mechanics. Understanding how your raw score converts to the 1-5 scale can help you set realistic goals and focus your study time on the sections that matter most.

Each AP Physics exam splits your score between multiple-choice and free-response sections, each worth 50% of your total. The free-response section is where most students lose points, so practicing full solutions with proper physics reasoning is critical. Our score calculators let you experiment with different section scores to see exactly what you need to hit your target grade.

If you're preparing for the mechanics portion of AP Physics, our force & motion calculators and kinematics calculators can help you practice the core concepts tested on the exam.
