Here’s everything you need to know about the AP Psych exam.
The AP Psych exam has two main sections. The first is multiple-choice, which accounts for about two-thirds of the total score. In this section, students have one hour and 10 minutes to answer 100 questions. These questions cover various topics from the course, asking students to define concepts and apply skills. The second section involves answering free response questions.
The free response section counts for about one-third of the total exam score. Students will have 50 minutes to answer two questions. These questions require students to explain behaviors using different theories and concepts from psychology.
