AP Computer Science Principles score calculator.
Enter your multiple-choice score from the end-of-course exam and the points you expect on the Create performance task. We combine them the way the College Board does, 70 percent exam and 30 percent task, then predict your 1 to 5.
Tuned for AP Computer Science Principles.
Computer Science Principles is unusual. The multiple-choice end-of-course exam is 70 percent of your grade, and the Create performance task you build during the year is the other 30 percent. This AP CSP score calculator weights them exactly that way.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers — written by humans, not a chatbot.
Does the Create task really count for 30 percent?
Yes. Unlike most AP exams, CSP combines a multiple-choice end-of-course exam worth 70 percent with the Create performance task worth 30 percent. Enter your best estimate of the task score to see the full picture.
How do I estimate my Create task score?
The task is scored out of 6 points against the College Board scoring guidelines. Compare your program and written responses to the rubric row by row, then add up the points you would earn.
Is there a written free-response section?
No. The end-of-course exam is entirely multiple choice. The free-response part of your grade is the Create performance task, which you build and submit separately.
