__The Basics of Scoring the AP English Language and Composition Exam__
 * The multiple- choice section counts for 45% of your total score
 * The essay section counts for 55%

Four- Part Calculation

 * 1) Raw scoring of the multiple-choice section
 * 2) Raw scoring of the essay section
 * 3) The calculation of composite score
 * 4) Conversion of the composite score into the AP grade of 5,4,3,2,1.


 * Multiple Choice Scoring**

Formula : number right- (number wrong x 0.25) = raw score rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. Answering a question wrong will cost you one- forth of a point while leaving a question blank will cost you a zero.

Each esay is scored as 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, and 0, a 9 is the highest possible score.
Formula:Essay 1 (pts x 3.055) + Essay 2 (pts x 3.055) + Essay 3 (pts x 3.055) = essay raw score


 * Calculating Your Composite Score**
 * Total composite score for the AP English and Composition test is 150
 * The 45% of the multiple choice equals 82.5 points.
 * The 55% of the essay eqals 67.5 points.
 * Add together the raw scores of each of the two section to get your composite score.

 * Converting the Composite Score into an AP grade**
 * 150-100 points = 5
 * 99-86 points = 4
