Hi folks! I'm going to be taking AP World History next year, and I'm wondering how long the AP World test will take. Can anyone help me out with this information? Thank you!
Hi there! The AP World History exam is typically split into two sections, each with its own time duration. Here's a breakdown:
Section 1: Multiple Choice and Short Answer Questions
- 55 Multiple Choice Questions (55 minutes)
- 3 Short Answer Questions (40 minutes)
Total time for Section 1: 95 minutes
Section 2: Free-Response Questions
- 1 Document-Based Question (60 minutes)
- 1 Long Essay Question (40 minutes)
Total time for Section 2: 100 minutes
Adding both sections together, you'll spend approximately 195 minutes (3 hours and 15 minutes) taking the AP World History exam. Keep in mind, there's also a short break between the two sections. Good luck with your studies and the exam!
