What’s the calculator policy for the 2025 AP Exams?

The calculator policy for the 2025 AP Exams remains the same as last year. You can use an approved personal or school-provided calculator on AP Exams that allow or require the use of calculators.

For the following 12 digital AP Exams, you can also use the built-in Desmos graphing calculator through Bluebook:

  • Biology
  • Calculus AB
  • Calculus BC
  • Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Macroeconomics
  • Microeconomics
  • Physics 1: Algebra-Based
  • Physics 2: Algebra-Based
  • Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism
  • Physics C: Mechanics
  • Precalculus

Note: Desmos won’t be available as an option for the AP Statistics Exam because Desmos doesn't currently have the required statistics computational capabilities.
