Hello! The AP Literature exam consists of two main sections: a multiple-choice section and a free-response section. Here's the breakdown of each section and the exam length:

1. Multiple-choice section: This section has 55 questions and you'll be given 60 minutes to complete it. The multiple-choice questions primarily measure your reading and analysis skills. You'll be asked to read and analyze various literary passages and poems.

2. Free-response section: This section consists of three essay questions, which cover poetry analysis, prose fiction analysis, and literary argument. You'll be given 120 minutes to complete all three essays.

So, the total length of the AP Literature exam is 180 minutes (60 minutes for multiple-choice and 120 minutes for free-response). Make sure to practice under timed conditions and familiarize yourself with both the content and the format to perform your best on test day. Good luck!
