About the Exam
The AP Chemistry Exam will test your understanding of the scientific concepts covered in the course units, as well as your ability to design and describe chemical experiments.
A scientific or graphing calculator is recommended on both sections of the exam. You’ll be provided with a periodic table and a formula sheet that lists specific and relevant formulas.
This is a hybrid digital exam. You’ll complete multiple-choice questions and view free-response questions in the Bluebook testing app. You’ll handwrite your free-response answers in paper exam booklets.
