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 Psychology exam digital?
Yes. The whole exam, multiple choice and free response, is taken in the Bluebook app. This practice test simulates the multiple-choice section only.
Which units does AP Psychology multiple choice cover?
Five units, each worth 15-25% of the section: Biological Bases of Behavior, Cognition, Development and Learning, Social Psychology and Personality, and Mental and Physical Health. This practice test gives each unit 15 questions.
How are research methods tested?
Research methods and data are built into every unit rather than taught as a separate one. Expect questions on variables, random assignment, confounds, reading results and the limits of a conclusion. This practice test has five research scenarios with three questions each, plus standalone questions.
How many multiple-choice questions are on the AP Psychology exam?
The multiple-choice section has 75 questions in 90 minutes and counts for 66.7% 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.
