Common Questions
How is the AP Cybersecurity exam scored?
60 multiple-choice questions (70% weight) plus 1 free-response question worth 50 points (30% weight). Raw scores convert to a composite score of 0–100, then to an AP grade of 1–5.
What composite score gets me a 5?
Typically 75–100. This usually means getting 48+ MCQ correct and scoring 22+ on the FRQ. Exact cutoffs vary slightly each year.
Is a 3 considered passing?
Yes. AP scores of 3 and above earn college credit at most institutions. A 3 requires a composite score of roughly 50–64.
What should I focus on if my score is low?
Low MCQ: review risk assessment, vulnerability types, and attack identification across all 5 units. Low FRQ: practice analyzing evidence from source documents and writing precise, cited justifications.
