Every year I tell my kids that they have to get a 60% on my tests and the final to be in the 3 range and slightly more than half on the FRQs. Well this AP score calculator by AP Haven does a pretty good job of proving me correct, except that it actually uses released tests you might be using to show your students their score. It has everything on there except for AP US (since there are no tests to correlate to it). Thanks to Doug Zywiol for the heads up on this one.
