Estimated AP score

Composite estimate: 70%. Need about 44% for a 3, 58% for a 4, and 72% for a 5.

About 2 more composite percentage points reaches the score 5 estimate band.

Cutoff context: Cutoff sensitivity: 2 composite percentage points from the estimated score 5 cutoff. Small rubric or equating differences could change the estimated score band.

Target plan: Current inputs are already in the score 4 estimate band.

Study leverage: Highest available raw-point leverage: one more FRQ raw point adds about 1.5 composite points before final rounding; 10 raw points remain in that section. This compares score math, not study effort.

2026 College Board distribution: 25% earned 4; 71% earned 3 or higher.
