The BC exam also reports a Calculus AB subscore from 1 to 5, based on the part of the exam on AB topics (about 60% of it, College Board says). College Board does not publish which questions count toward it, so this calculator does not estimate a subscore.

Method
- Your 42 multiple-choice answers are rescaled to 45, multiplied by 1.2 and added to your free-response points, giving a composite out of 108 as on College Board's released 2012 BC practice exam.
- That composite is banded on the 2012 practice exam's band edges, moved by the number of points you choose: higher for a stricter year, lower for a more lenient one.
