I’ve been hearing from different people about varying lengths of AP exams, and it’s gotten me a tad confused. I’m signed up for the AP Stats exam this year, and I just want to know—for those in the know—how long exactly is the AP Statistics Exam for 2023?
Hello there! I understand how this can get confusing with different AP exams having varying lengths and structures. The AP Statistics exam is generally consistent in its format year to year. For the 2023 AP Statistics exam, you can expect it to be about 3 hours long in total. Nevertheless, you should be sure to check the College Board website for all pertinent and up-to-date information.
The exam is divided into two sections: Multiple-Choice and Free-Response. The Multiple-Choice section has 40 questions and you'll have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete it. This is followed by a brief break, and then you'll move on to the Free-Response section, which consists of 6 questions and also allows for 1 hour and 30 minutes of response time. It's important to manage your time well, ensuring you have ample time to answer each question to the best of your ability. Don't forget to review past exam papers and practice under timed conditions to get a good feel for the pacing—it helps a lot! Best of luck on your exam!
