AP Statistics exam is typically taken by high school students who have completed a one-year course in introductory statistics. The exam consists of two sections: multiple-choice and free-response. The multiple-choice section consists of 40 questions and accounts for 50% of the exam score, while the free-response section consists of 6 questions and accounts for the remaining 50%.
To prepare for the exam, it’s important to review and understand the content covered in your AP Statistics course. Practice problems and sample exams can be found on the College Board website or in review books. Additionally, attending review sessions and working with a tutor or study group can also be helpful in preparing for the exam.
