The AP Microeconomics exam is about 2 hours and 10 minutes long in total.

Quick Scoop: Timing Breakdown

  • Total exam time: 2 hours 10 minutes.
  • Section I – Multiple Choice:
    • 60 questions
    • 1 hour 10 minutes.
  • Section II – Free Response:
    • 3 questions (1 long, 2 short)
    • 1 hour total, which typically includes a 10‑minute reading period at the start.

So you’ll be sitting for just over two hours, with most of that split pretty evenly between multiple choice and free response.
