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:
  1. No Recommendation
  2. Possibly Qualified
  3. Qualified
  4. Very Well Qualified
  5. Extremely Well Qualified
