Hey everyone! Quick question: Can I use a calculator on the AP Government exam? If yes, any recommendations for specific calculator models? Thanks!
Hi there! A calculator is not allowed or necessary during the AP Government and Politics exam. The exam consists of two sections: multiple-choice and free-response questions, both of which focus on your understanding of key concepts, analytic skills, and fact-based knowledge relevant to governmental and political processes and institutions. There are no math or calculation-based components to this exam.
Instead, spend your time focusing on studying the course material, practicing multiple-choice questions, and honing your essay-writing skills for the free-response questions. Good luck with your preparation and the exam!
