Time Management During the Exam

Work Smart, Not Just Hard

The AP Micro exam has both multiple-choice and free-response sections. Make a plan for how long to spend on each part, and don't get stuck on one tough question.

  • Answer easy questions first, then tackle the harder ones.
  • Use leftover time to check your work and add explanations.
  • Keep calm and pace yourself for the best results.

Examples

  • Skipping a tricky graph and coming back to it after answering other questions.

  • Allocating more time to free-response questions that require longer explanations.
