AP Statistics: Exam Guide & Official Sources
Understand the updated exam, arrange registration with a school coordinator, and connect the statistical framework to this foundation pilot.
A fully digital exam
For May 2027, both multiple-choice and free-response work are submitted in Bluebook. Practise writing interpretations as well as making calculations.
- Section I: 42 multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes.
- Section II: 4 free-response questions, 90 minutes.
- Each section contributes half the exam score.
Practice and official assessment are different
These short exercises teach foundational decisions and calculations. They do not replace the official multi-focus free responses or their scoring guidelines.
- Explain the parameter and context.
- Check the conditions of an inference procedure.
- Use a result to justify a claim, rather than reporting a calculator output alone.
The syllabus and your next lesson.
Exploring and collecting data
- Ask statistical questions
- Describe center and position
- Spread and normal models
- Choose a defensible sample
- Design an experiment
- Read a distribution, not just its average
- Repair the data-collection design
Probability and distributions
- Condition on the right group
- Model repeated chance outcomes
- Separate data from statistics
- Compare conditional distributions
- Build and audit a simulation
- Check a binomial model before calculating
- Move between percentiles and measurements
Inference for proportions
- Build and interpret intervals
- Reason from a null model
- Audit the assumptions behind an interval or test
- Write a defensible population claim
- Compare populations with the right uncertainty
- Test a categorical association as an investigation
Inference for means
- Compare groups carefully
- Choose a t procedure from the study design
Regression analysis
- Read a fitted relationship
- Decide what a fitted line can support
Linked lessons cover selected foundations. Use the official syllabus to plan any topics beyond this pilot.
Dates and scheduling
Regular exam
Tuesday, May 11, 2027 · Session 2. Confirm reporting time with your coordinator.

Ask the AP coordinator whether a seat and an exam-only section are available if you are not taking the course there.
- 02
Join the section in My AP
Use your College Board account and the join code supplied by your teacher or coordinator.
- 03
Confirm the exam order and payment
Check registration status, student deadlines and the amount due directly with the school.
- 04
Prepare for digital responses
Use the official Bluebook preview and statistical-notation guidance before exam day.
Slope does not accept exam registrations or payments.

Registration workflow
Additional learning-resource link only; textbook text and figures are not reproduced
Foundation pilot, not complete AP syllabus coverage or an official exam simulation.
400 variants across 96 families; not independently calibrated item designs.
Practice includes numeric responses as learning exercises; official free responses require statistical reasoning and contextual justification.
No calibrated AP score prediction; independent educator review pending.
Broader inference procedures, authentic multi-focus free responses and full shared-stimulus exam sets need further development.
Exam names belong to their respective owners. Slope is an independent learning project.
