Scoring and Interpretation

Now that you have completed the Diagnostic Exam and checked your answers, it is time

to assess your knowledge and preparation. If you saw some questions that caused you to roll

your eyes and mutter “What the... ?” then you can focus your study on those areas. If you

breezed through some questions, great!

Calculate your raw score with the formula that follows. If you left any questions blank,

there is no penalty. Take this raw score on the Diagnostic Exam and compare it to the table

that follows to estimate where you might score at this point.

Raw Diagnostic Score AP Grade

23–30 5

18–22 4

14–17 3

9–13 2

0–8 1

Remember, on the real exam, Section I will account for two-thirds of your compos-

ite score, with one-third coming from the free-response Section II. Given this impor-

tant difference between your Diagnostic Exam and the real thing, the table is a very

preliminary way to convert your Diagnostic raw score to an AP grade. No matter how

you scored on the Diagnostic Exam, it is time to begin to review for your AP

Microeconomics Exam.
