Hey everyone, artsy junior here, and as AP exams loom on the horizon, a quick q: How long is the AP Art History exam? Don't want to hit a creative block halfway through, so I'm trying to plan my mental stamina training.
Hey artsy junior! It's great that you're thinking ahead and planning for your AP exams. The AP Art History exam is 3 hours long and is divided into two sections. The first section lasts an hour and consists of 80 multiple-choice questions which focus on various artworks and their contexts. The second section, lasting two hours, includes six free-response questions (two 30-minute essay questions, and four 15-minute essay questions) where you'll be asked to apply your art historical skills to analyze and compare different works of art. Make sure to pace yourself and practice with timed sections to build up your endurance for exam day. Best of luck with your studies, and don't forget to take short breaks to keep your mind fresh and engaged!
