AP Statistics Exam2018-19 AP Exam InstructionsAP Statistics Exam271Students are expected to bring graphing calculators with statistical capabilities to the AP Statistics Exam. Nongraphing scientific calculators are permitted as long as they have the required computational capabilities. Before starting the exam administration, make sure each student has a graphing calculator from the approved list on page 53 of the 2018-19 AP Coordinator’s Manual or a scientific calculator. It is up to the student to determine if a nongraphing scientific calculator has the required computational capabilities. If a student does not have a graphing calculator from the approved list or an appropriate scientific calculator, you may provide one from your supply. See pages 50–53 of the AP Coordinator’s Manual for more information. If the student does not want to use the calculator you provide, or does not want to use a calculator at all, he or she must hand copy, date, and sign the release statement on page 52 of the AP Coordinator’s Manual. Students may have no more than two calculators on their desks. Calculators may not be shared. Calculator memories do not need to be cleared before or after the exam. Students with Hewlett-Packard 48–50 Series and Casio FX-9860 graphing calculators may use cards designed for use with these calculators. Proctors should make sure infrared ports (Hewlett-Packard) are not facing each other. Since graphing calculators can be used to store data, including text, proctors should monitor that students are using their calculators appropriately. Attempts by students to use the calculator to remove exam questions and/or answers from the room may result in the cancellation of AP Exam scores.SECTION I: Multiple Choice›Do not begin the exam instructions below until you have completed theappropriate General Instructions for your group.Make sure you begin the exam at the designated time.
