The AP Calculus AB exam at a glance
The AP Calculus AB Exam is a 3 hour 10 minute exam from the College Board, given in May. From May 2027, Section I has 42 multiple-choice questions with four choices in 1 hour 40 minutes (50% of the score): Part A, 29 questions in 62 minutes with no calculator, and Part B, 13 questions in 38 minutes with a graphing calculator required. Section II has 6 free-response questions in 90 minutes (50%). The exam is hybrid digital: multiple choice in the Bluebook app, which has a built-in Desmos graphing calculator for the calculator parts, and free responses handwritten. Scores are reported from 1 to 5, and wrong answers are not penalized.
Tigertest has two full 42-question AP Calculus AB multiple-choice sections and eight drills, one per unit, all free with no account required. The free-response section is not included.

How It Works
Drills by Unit
Eight drills of 20 questions, one for each unit of the course, all without a calculator. Questions you miss come back until you have mastered them, so a weak unit gets the practice it needs.
Practice Tests
Two full multiple-choice sections on the real clock: Part A, 29 questions in 62 minutes with no calculator, then Part B, 13 questions in 38 minutes with one, and a score by unit at the end. Practice Test 2 is held out of the drills, so it measures readiness. The free-response section is not included.
Weighted Like the Real Exam
Each unit has its own share of the real multiple-choice section, shown below. Every Tigertest practice test stays inside those ranges, from 3 questions on Differential Equations to 8 on Integration and Accumulation of Change, with the calculator questions in Part B weighted toward motion, accumulation and volume, as on the real exam.

Share FeedbackHow to Raise Your AP Calculus AB Score
1. Make the rules automatic
Part A gives you about two minutes a question with no calculator. The chain rule, the quotient rule, implicit differentiation and substitution need to be quick and accurate, so drill them until you do not have to think about the steps.
2. Read what the question asks for
Many wrong choices are the right number for a different question: the x-value instead of the maximum value, the displacement instead of the total distance, the integral instead of the average value. Underline the quantity asked for before you solve.
3. Connect f, f' and f''
A large share of the exam asks what the sign of a derivative says about a function: increasing or decreasing, concave up or down, a maximum or a point of inflection. Say each link in words, such as "f' changes from positive to negative, so f has a relative maximum".
4. Answer every question
Wrong answers cost nothing, so never leave a question blank. In Part B, set up the derivative or integral first and use the calculator only for the arithmetic. Integration and analysis of functions carry the most weight, so drill those units first if they are weak.
AP Calculus AB Frequently Asked Questions
What is the format of the AP Calculus AB Exam?
From May 2027 the AP Calculus AB Exam lasts 3 hours 10 minutes. Section I has 42 multiple-choice questions in 1 hour 40 minutes and counts for 50% of the score: Part A is 29 questions in 62 minutes with no calculator, and Part B is 13 questions in 38 minutes with a graphing calculator required. Section II has 6 free-response questions in 90 minutes and counts for the other 50%: 2 with a graphing calculator in 30 minutes, then 4 without one in 60 minutes. The exam is hybrid digital: you answer the multiple choice in the Bluebook app and handwrite the free responses in a paper booklet.
Did the AP Calculus AB multiple-choice section change for 2027?
Yes. The College Board changed the number of multiple-choice questions and the timing starting with the May 2027 exams. Part A went from 30 questions in 60 minutes to 29 questions in 62 minutes, and Part B from 15 questions in 45 minutes to 13 questions in 38 minutes. The course content did not change. Tigertest's practice tests use the new lengths and times.
What units are on the AP Calculus AB Exam?
There are eight units. Their shares of the multiple-choice section are: Limits and Continuity 10% to 15%, Differentiation: Definition and Fundamental Properties 10% to 15%, Composite, Implicit and Inverse Functions 5% to 10%, Contextual Applications of Differentiation 10% to 15%, Analytical Applications of Differentiation 15% to 20%, Integration and Accumulation of Change 15% to 20%, Differential Equations 5% to 10%, and Applications of Integration 10% to 15%.
How is the AP Calculus AB Exam scored?
AP scores run from 1 to 5. The College Board combines the multiple-choice and free-response sections into a composite and converts it to a score of 1 to 5 each year; it does not publish a fixed percentage for each score. No points are taken off for wrong answers, so answer every question. Tigertest reports the percent you got right on a full multiple-choice section, and its goals are its own targets, not official cutoffs.
Does the Tigertest AP Calculus AB practice test include the free-response questions?
No. Tigertest models the 42-question multiple-choice section only. The six free-response questions are written answers scored by readers, so practice them with your teacher. The real Part B requires a graphing calculator; the calculator in Tigertest's practice tests is scientific, so its Part B questions are written to be solved with one. The questions are original, written to the College Board course framework, and Tigertest is not affiliated with the College Board.
I teach AP Calculus AB. Can my students use Tigertest?
Yes, for free. Make a class at tigertest.io/teach, post one link, and students join with just their name. You see who practiced, their test scores and the topics your class misses most.
