What you get afterwards
The number of questions you got right, the percentage, a breakdown by section and a full review. Each explanation gives the reasoning and then names the most tempting wrong answer and says why it fails. There is no AP score of 1 to 5: free response is not included and the College Board publishes no cut scores for its forms.
Before you start
Set aside 100 minutes without interruption. If you close the tab, the session is kept and you can return to it at the same address, but the clock keeps running, as it would in the exam room.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a calculator on AP Calculus AB multiple choice?
Only in Part B, where a graphing calculator is required for some questions. Part A is taken without one. On exam day Bluebook includes a graphing calculator for Part B; this practice test has none built in, so use your own.
Is there a formula sheet on AP Calculus AB?
No. The College Board supplies no formula sheet, so derivative and integral rules, trigonometric values and the area and volume formulas you need must be known. This practice test follows the same rule.
Is the AP Calculus AB exam digital?
It is a hybrid exam. The multiple-choice section is taken in the Bluebook app and the free-response answers are handwritten in a paper booklet. This practice test simulates the multiple-choice section only.
How many multiple-choice questions are on the AP Calculus AB exam?
The multiple-choice section has 42 questions in 100 minutes and counts for 50% of the exam score.
Does this practice test give me an AP score?
No. It reports how many questions you got right and the percentage. The AP score of 1 to 5 also depends on the free-response section, which is not included, and the College Board does not publish the cut scores for each form.
Is there a penalty for wrong answers?
No. AP multiple choice is scored on correct answers only, so answer every question.
Is AxoPrep official?
No. AxoPrep is not affiliated with the College Board. AP is a trademark of the College Board. Every question here is original.
