1. What is the APWH Exam Score Calculation?

The APWH (AP World History) Exam Score calculation determines a student's overall score based on performance across multiple sections: Multiple Choice (MC), Short Answer Questions (SAQ), Document-Based Question (DBQ), and Long Essay Question (LEQ).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the APWH exam score formula:

Where:

• \( MC \) — Multiple Choice points earned
• \( SAQ \) — Short Answer Questions points earned
• \( DBQ \) — Document-Based Question points earned
• \( LEQ \) — Long Essay Question points earned
• \( Max \) — Maximum possible points

Explanation: The formula calculates the ratio of earned points to maximum possible points, then scales it to a 5-point AP scoring scale.

3. Importance of Score Calculation

Details: Accurate score calculation helps students understand their performance, predict AP exam results, and identify areas for improvement in their AP World History preparation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter points earned for each section (MC, SAQ, DBQ, LEQ) and the maximum possible points. All values must be valid positive numbers with Max > 0.
