About The AP Psychology Exam
Format Of The TestSection 1: 100 Multiple Choice
Two-thirds of the points for this exam are based on questions where you'll have 70 minutes to answer as many of the questions as you can correctly. You do not get points taken off is you guess or get an answer wrong, so make sure to fill in every question with an answer. Section 2: Free Response One-third of the remaining points are divided into two Free Response Questions where you'll have 50 minutes answer both. They will have roughly the same amount of points, so each counts as 15% of the overall score of the test. It is suggested to spend half of the time on the first question and half on the other. You don't get points taken off if you say something wrong, only if you contradict something else that you said. Go into as much detail as you can on a topic and hope that something sticks.
