Hey friends, I couldn't find anything online about the AP Calc AB exam's time length. How long is the test and how much time do they give you per section? Thanks for any help with this question!
Hey there! The AP Calculus AB exam is divided into two main sections, each with its own time allotment. Here's a breakdown of the test's structure and timing:
1. Multiple-Choice Section:
- Number of questions: 45
- Time allotted: 105 minutes (1 hour and 45 minutes)
- You'll have an average of a little more than 2 minutes per question in this section.
2. Free-Response Section:
- Number of questions: 6
- Time allotted: 90 minutes (1 hour and 30 minutes)
- In this section, you'll have an average of 15 minutes per question to formulate and write your responses.
So, the total length of the AP Calculus AB exam is 195 minutes (3 hours and 15 minutes), including both sections. Good luck with your preparations, and I hope this information helps!
