AP Statistics Score Calculator

The exam has two sections: Section I contains 40 multiple choice questions (1 hour 30 minutes, 50% of score), and Section II contains 6 free response questions (1 hour 30 minutes, 50% of score). Five FRQs are shorter investigative tasks, and one is a longer investigative task.

Yes! You can use a graphing calculator on the entire AP Statistics exam. The approved calculators include TI-83/84, TI-89, and similar models. Make sure your calculator has fresh batteries and you know how to use its statistical functions.

AP Statistics covers four main units: Exploring Data (20-30%), Sampling and Experimentation (10-15%), Probability and Simulation (20-30%), and Statistical Inference (30-40%). Focus on understanding concepts rather than just memorizing formulas.

Most colleges accept a score of 3 or higher for credit, though policies vary. Some competitive universities require a 4 or 5. AP Statistics typically grants credit for an introductory statistics course.

AP Statistics is generally considered less difficult than AP Calculus AB/BC because it requires less advanced algebra. However, it emphasizes conceptual understanding and interpretation rather than computation. Success depends on your ability to explain statistical reasoning clearly.

You receive a formula sheet with common statistical formulas including standard deviation, confidence intervals, test statistics, and probability rules. However, you need to know when and how to apply these formulas correctly.

Practice writing clear, complete explanations using proper statistical terminology. FRQs require you to show your work, state assumptions, interpret results in context, and communicate conclusions. Use the four-step process: State, Plan, Do, Conclude.
