About the AP Calculus Exam

The AP Calculus exam is conducted for two levels, Calculus AB and Calculus BC.

AP Calculus AB Exam.

Duration : 3 HOURS

Exam Format : The AP Calculus AB exam has two sections: a Multiple Choice Section and a Free Response Section. The multiple-choice section is for one hour and 45 minutes (105-minutes) and has 45-questions. The free-response section is for one hour and 30 minutes (90 minutes) and has six-problems.

Section I: Multiple-Choice Section. This section has two parts. Part A has 28 questions to be answered in 55 minutes without a calculator Part B has 17 questions to be answered in 50 minutes using a graphing calculator.

Scoring: Scores on the multiple-choice section are given as per the number of questions answered correctly. There is no negative marking and no marks are allotted for unanswered questions.

Section II: Free-Response Section: This section is divided into two parts. Part A of the free-response section has two problems to be solved in 30 minutes using a graphing calculator. Part B of the free-response section comprises four problems to be answered in 60 minutes and NO calculators are permitted for this part. During the Part B, students can continue to work on problems in Part A however no calculators can be used during this time.

Scoring: To gain full credit, students must show the complete line of reasoning and must communicate their methods and conclusions clearly.

Final Scores.
The multiple-choice and free-response sections each account for one-half of the final exam grade.

Use of Calculators
The use of a graphing calculator is permissible on parts of the AP Calculus Exams as given out above. The exams have questions which can be answered using a graphing calculator which has the following basic capabilities:

Plot the graph of a function within an arbitrary viewing window
Find the zeros of functions (solve equations numerically)
Numerically calculate the derivative of a function
Numerically calculate the value of a definite integral

Following are not permitted on the exams: nongraphing scientific calculators, portable and handheld computers, laptops, electronic writing pads, pocket organizers. Also calculators with QWERTY (typewriter-like) keypad as part of hardware or software, pen-input, stylus or touch-screen wireless or Bluetooth capabilities are not permitted. For detailed calculator instructions, please visit Collegeboard site.
