Multiple Choice - 70 questions, 55 minutes (50% of exam grade) The multiple-choice questions have 5 possible responses (A-E). The 70 questions are arranged in chronological clusters or groups. Some of the questions will cross chronological boundaries. Some questions will contain visual materials, such as maps, charts, graphs, illustrations and pictures.

Free-Response Essays - 3 questions, 130 minutes (50% of exam grade) There are 3 types of essay questions. Each essay allows for the same amount of writing time and counts equally toward your final score. There are no mandatory stop times for each essay, so it is important that you bring your own watch to PACE yourself! We will talk more about each of the essays throughout the school year.

Your AP exam score will be available in July and will be in the format of a scale of 1 through 5. Each college department sets its own AP policy, however, grades of 3, 4, and 5 are generally accepted at the majority of American colleges and universities. (Scale Score/Recommendation) 5/Extremely well qualified 4/Well qualified 3/Qualified 2/Possibly qualified 1/No recommendation
