To calculate your possible AP English Literature score, use the sliders below to adjust the 1 multiple-choice section and 3 free response questions. The curve for this score calculator is based on the most recently available scoring guidelines.
Note that the scores determined by our AP Score Calculators should only be used as an approximation, and future AP English Literature exams may differ from previously administered AP Lit exams.
