Hello good people! Did anyone here take the AP psychology exam in the past? I will be taking it next year and need to start planning my study schedule. Do we know the actual duration of the AP psychology exam? Thank you!
Hello! The duration of the AP Psychology exam is 2 hours. It's made up of two sections that are timed separately.
The first section is Multiple Choice and it consists of 100 questions that you're given 70 minutes to complete. This section counts for 66.7% of your total exam score.
The second section is Free Response, which lasts for 50 minutes and includes 2 questions that you'll need to answer. This part of the exam counts for 33.3% of your total score.
So, when you're planning your study schedule, keep in mind that you'll want to practice both your speed for answering the multiple choice questions and your ability to write comprehensive answers for the free-response section. Best of luck with your studies!
