AP Biology Exam Overview

The AP Biology exam is a three-hour, multiple-choice and free-response exam administered by the College Board. The exam is divided into two sections:

1. Multiple Choice: This section consists of 60 multiple-choice questions worth 50% of the total exam score.
2. Free Response: This section consists of six free-response questions worth 50% of the total exam score.

The AP Biology exam covers a wide range of topics from the following units:

1. Cell Structure and Function
2. Molecular Biology
3. Genetics
4. Evolution
5. Ecology
