Why every calculator says estimate
College Board turns your raw points into a composite with fixed section weights, which the calculators reproduce exactly. The composite needed for a 3, 4 or 5 is set after each exam and never published. We use the cutoffs from College Board's released practice exams, converted to a share of the total so they fit today's formats. Near a cutoff, treat the result as either score.
