AP® Statistics Directions for AdministrationThe AP Statistics Exam is three hours in length and consists of a multiple-choice section and a free-response section. •The 90-minute multiple-choice section contains 40 questions and accounts for 50 percent of the final grade. •The 90-minute free-response section contains 6 questions and accounts for 50 percent of the final grade. A 10-minute breakshould be provided after Section I is completed. The actual AP Exam is administered in one session. Students will have the most realistic experience if a complete morning or afternoon is available to administer this practice exam. If a schedule does not permit one time period for the entire practice exam administration, it would be acceptable to administer Section I one day and Section II on a subsequent day.Total scores on the multiple-choice section are based only on the number of questions answered correctly. No points are deducted for incorrect answers and no points are awarded for unanswered questions.•The use of approved calculators is permitted during the exam. More information on calculators that are approved for use on this exam can be found on AP Central. •It is suggested that the practice exam be completed using a pencil to simulate an actual administration. •Teachers will need to provide paper for the students to write their free-response answers. Teachers should provide directions to the students indicating how they wish the responses to be labeled so the teacher will be able to associate the student’s response with the question the student intended to answer. •Remember that students are not allowed to remove any materials, including scratch work, from the testing site. -ii-www.mymathscloud.com
