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 90 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
Is the AP Chemistry 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.
Can I use a calculator and a periodic table on AP Chemistry?
Yes. A scientific or graphing calculator is allowed on both sections, and the College Board supplies a periodic table and an equations and constants sheet. This practice test prints every atomic mass, constant and equation a question needs in the question itself.
Which units does AP Chemistry multiple choice cover?
Nine units. Properties of Substances and Mixtures is the largest (18-22%), then Acids and Bases (11-15%); the other seven each count for 7-9%. This practice test follows those weights: 13 questions on substances and mixtures, 9 on acids and bases and 5 or 6 on each other unit.
How many multiple-choice questions are on the AP Chemistry exam?
The multiple-choice section has 60 questions in 90 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.
