# AP Physics 1 Score Calculator (2026) — Predict Your AP Exam Score

A free interactive calculator that converts practice-test section scores into
a predicted AP Physics 1 score (1–5). It uses the current exam format: 40
multiple-choice questions plus four free-response questions.

**Start here:** https://nerd-notes.com/ap1-score-calculator/

## How it works

- Enter a multiple-choice score (0–40) and a score for each of the four FRQs, using sliders or number inputs:
  - **FRQ 1: Mathematical Routines (MR)** — out of 10
  - **FRQ 2: Translation Between Representations (TBR)** — out of 12
  - **FRQ 3: Experimental Design and Analysis (LAB)** — out of 10
  - **FRQ 4: Qualitative/Quantitative Translation (QQT)** — out of 8
- The 80 raw points are scaled to a composite score out of 100, then mapped to a predicted AP score using the calculator's estimated 2026 bands: 77–100 → 5, 59–76 → 4, 42–58 → 3, 27–41 → 2, 0–26 → 1.
- Results update instantly as inputs change, with the predicted AP score color-coded by level.
- Clicking any section label opens a breakdown of that question type — points, suggested timing, and answering tactics.
