Hey, I'm taking AP Statistics this year and I wanted to know how long the exam usually is. Could anyone here give me an estimate of the time it takes to complete the test? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The AP Statistics exam is typically scheduled for 3 hours in total. You'll find that the test is split into two sections: a Multiple Choice section and a Free Response section. Each section has a specific time allotment.
For the Multiple Choice section, you'll have 90 minutes to complete 40 questions. Moving on to the Free Response section, you're given another 90 minutes to answer six questions. Some of the Free Response questions will require you to use statistical methods and interpret data using your calculator.
Keep in mind that, as with any AP exam, you'll want to make sure you're well prepared and manage your time efficiently during the test. Good luck with your AP Statistics course, and I hope you ace the exam when the time comes!
