AP Exam Materials, Tips, and Practice

This page is dedicated to preparing for the AP Exam. The AP biology exam is composed of two 90 minute parts; a multiple choice section with 60 questions and a free response question with 6 questions (2 long and 4 short). Throughout the year, we will practice both types of questions, how to answer them effectively and efficiently and your unit exams will be shorted versions of unit specific questions of the AP exam in May.

For more information about the exam, please visit the College Board AP Biology webpage here.

Below are some documents and practice materials you can use to prepare for the exam.

FRQ Action words

Every Free Response Question (FRQ) has bold key words that indicate what you should do to answer the question posed to you. This document lists and describes what to do for each action word.
