Time Allocation for AP Stats Exam?

Hey, people. I'm starting to get anxious about the AP Stats exam. Does anyone know how long it is and how the time is split between sections? Thanks!

Hey there! I completely understand that the AP exams can be a source of anxiety, especially when it comes to managing your time effectively to answer all the questions. But fear not! Understanding the structure of the test and planning your approach can go a long way.

For the AP Statistics exam, you'll have a total of 3 hours. This time is divided into two main sections: Multiple-Choice and Free-Response.

The Multiple-Choice section, which is the first part of the test, has a total of 40 questions and you're given 90 minutes to complete it. This comes out to roughly 2.25 minutes per question.

Afterward, you will move to the Free-Response section. This part consists of 6 questions: 5 short-answer and 1 investigative task. For this section as well, you are given 90 minutes. That's almost 15 minutes per question, although you might want to allocate more time to the investigative task as it's often more complex.

I suggest practicing some timed AP-level questions to get a feel for the pace. It will also help you to quickly identify question types and methodologies needed to solve them. Good luck with your preparation! You've got this!
