About the AP Exam

Testing Time: 2-3 Hours (most exams)

Some exams have a digital portfolio.

Structure: 2 Parts

The first part of the exam usually consists of multiple-choice questions.

You will choose 1 of 4–5 answer choices for each question and use a pencil to bubble in your choice on your AP answer sheet.
Your total exam score on the multiple-choice section is based only on the number of questions answered correctly. You won’t receive or lose points for incorrect answers or unanswered questions.

The second part of the exam usually consists of free-response questions that require you to generate your own responses. Depending on the exam, your responses could be in the form of an essay, a solution to a problem, or a spoken response. In most cases, you’ll be writing your response in pen in the free-response exam booklet.

Score Range: 5-point scale that offers a recommendation about how qualified you are to receive college credit and placement. Scores include:

No Recommendation
Possibly Qualified
Qualified
Very Well Qualified
Extremely Well Qualified
