Do we use calculators for the AP Psychology Exam?

Hello everyone, I've heard conflicting reports about calculators being used in the AP Psychology exam. Could someone clarify this for me?

a year ago

Sure, I can clear that up for you. Calculators are actually not needed or allowed for the AP Psychology Exam. The exam focuses more on understanding concepts, and theories, and conducting statistical analysis without the need for computational tools. You'll primarily use critical thinking skills and recall psychological concepts to answer the multiple-choice and free-response questions. So go ahead and leave the calculator in your backpack for this one!
