The AP Calculus AB exam is 3 hours and 15 minutes long in total. It is divided into two main sections:
- Section I: Multiple Choice (45 questions, 1 hour 45 minutes)
- Part A: 30 questions in 60 minutes (calculator not permitted)
- Part B: 15 questions in 45 minutes (graphing calculator required)
- Section II: Free Response (6 questions, 1 hour 30 minutes)
- Part A: 2 questions in 30 minutes (graphing calculator required)
- Part B: 4 questions in 60 minutes (calculator not permitted)
There is typically a short break between the two sections. The exam tests a range of calculus concepts, including limits, derivatives, integrals, and their applications
