34. Exam Information The AP Biology Exam consists of two sections: multiple choice and free response. The exam is 3 hours long and includes both a 90-minute multiple choice section and a 90-minute free-response section that begins with a mandatory 10-minute reading period. The multiple-choice section accounts for half of the student’s exam grade, and the free-response section accounts for the other half.

35. Section I, Part A, consists of 63 multiple-choice questions Part B includes 6 grid-in questions that require the integration of science and mathematical skills. In Section II, students should use the mandatory reading period to read and review the questions and begin planning their responses. This section contains two types of free-response questions (short and long), and the student will have a total of 80 minutes to complete all of the questions.
