- No calculator is allowed, as on the real exam
- All code is in Java and uses only the language features and library methods of the course, as listed on the AP Java Quick Reference that the real exam supplies
- Assume every code segment compiles and every class needed by it is defined, unless the question asks about an error
- The free-response section (four questions in 90 minutes, 45% of the score) is not included

How the practice test is scored
A correct answer earns one point and a wrong or blank answer earns nothing, as on the real exam, so it always pays to answer. The result is the number correct and the percentage. The multiple-choice section is 55% of the AP score; the rest comes from free response, which is not simulated here, so no AP score of 1 to 5 is shown.
