Part A of the multiple-choice section (28 questions in 55 minutes) does not allow the use of a calculator. Part B of the multiple-choice section (17 questions in 50 minutes) contains some questions for which a graphing calculator is required. • The 90-minute two-part free-response section contains 6 questions and accounts for 50 percent of the final grade. Part A of the free-response section (3 questions in 45 minutes) contains some questions or parts of questions for which a graphing calculator is required. Part B of the free-response section (3 questions in 45 minutes) does not allow the use of a calculator. During the timed portion for Part B, students are permitted to continue work on questions in Part A, but they are not allowed to use a calculator during this time. A 10-minute break should be provided after Section I is completed. Students should not have access to their graphing calculators during the break. The actual AP Exam is administered in one session. Students will have the most realistic experience if a complete morning or afternoon is available to administer this practice exam. If a schedule does not permit one time period for the entire practice exam administration, it would be acceptable to administer Section I one day and Section II on a subsequent day. Total scores on the multiple-choice section are based only on the number of questions answered correctly. No points are deducted for incorrect answers and no points are awarded for unanswered questions. • Graphing calculators are required to answer some of the questions on the AP Calculus BC Exam. Before starting the exam administration, make sure each student has a graphing calculator from the approved list at http://www.collegeboard.com/ap/calculators. During the administration of Section I, Part B, and Section II, Part A, students may have no more than two graphing calculators on their desks; calculators may not be shared. Calculator memories do not need to be cleared before or after the exam. Since graphing calculators can be used to store data, including text, it is important to monitor that students are using their calculators appropriately. • It is suggested that Section I of the practice exam be completed using a pencil to simulate an actual administration. Students may use a pencil or pen with black or dark blue ink to complete Section II. • Teachers will need to provide paper for the students to write their free-response answers. Teachers should provide directions to the students indicating how they wish the responses to be labeled so the teacher will be able to associate the response with the question the student intended to answer. • Instructions for the Section II free-response
