Frequently asked questions
Why is this an estimate?
Cut scores are set after each administration and are never published as fixed percentages. On recent AB exams, a 5 has typically required a composite in roughly the low-to-mid 60s percent.
How is the free-response section graded?
Six questions worth 9 points each, graded by trained readers against detailed rubrics — points are awarded for setup, method and answers, so partial credit is common and valuable.
Calculator or no-calculator sections — does it matter here?
For the composite estimate, no: only the totals matter. In the real exam, Parts A and B of each section differ in calculator policy, which affects strategy, not the arithmetic here.
