What's up, guys? So, I'm planning to take the AP Gov test soon, but I'm not quite sure about its duration. Can someone who has taken the test before tell me how long it is? Thanks!
I'm happy to help you out with information about the AP Gov test. The AP United States Government and Politics Exam is typically divided into two sections. These are the multiple-choice section and the free-response section. The multiple-choice section has 55 questions, and you'll have 80 minutes to complete them. The free-response section consists of 4 questions, which you'll need to answer in 100 minutes.
So, in total, the AP Gov test lasts for 3 hours (180 minutes) for both sections combined, not including any breaks given by the test proctors. It's essential to manage your time effectively during the test to ensure you can answer all the questions in both sections within the allotted time.
I hope this clears up any confusion you had about the AP Gov exam duration. Good luck with your preparation and the test itself.
