What is the scale for the AP Exam grades?
The composite score for each AP Exam is converted to an AP Exam grade of 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1. AP Exam grades of 5 are equivalent to the top A-level work in the corresponding college course. AP Exam grades of 4 are equivalent to a range of work representing midlevel A to midlevel B performance in college. Similarly, AP Exam grades of 3 are equivalent to a range of work representing midlevel B to midlevel C performance in college.
