AP Psychology
The AP Psychology Exam is approximately two hours long and has two parts — multiple choice questions and free response questions.
The multiple choice section contains 100 questions and is 1 hour and 10 minutes long. The free-response section of the AP Psychology exam consists of two questions worth 33% of the total exam score. The questions may require students to interrelate different content areas and analyze and evaluate psychological concepts and/or theoretical perspectives. Students are expected to use their analytical and organizational skills to formulate cogent answers in writing their essays. To demonstrate an understanding of psychological concepts, perspectives, and research methodology, students must answer the questions clearly, in complete sentences, and within the context of the prompt. Outlines and lists alone are not acceptable responses. Providing definitions of the psychological terms alone may not score points but may help students better apply the concepts. Responses that contradict themselves, involve circular definitions, or simply restate the question are unacceptable. The following are common directives used in the AP Psychology Free-Response Questions (FRQs).
