How much writing space do you get?

<p>How many pages long is the FRQ booklet for AP exams? Is there a limit on how long each FRQ can be? According to my AP World teacher, if you fill up one booklet, you can ask for another and continue your writing. Is this true?</p>

<p>You don’t get another booklet usually… You got extra sheets of lined paper haha</p>

<p>The booklets are VERY long, if you fill out all of it during the exam, then well… Either your hand might be paralyzed by the end of the exam for sheer amount of words/minute or writing. Basically, there’s more than enough pages for you to fill for the exam. I’m using the APUSH exam booklet as my reference.</p>

<p>Exams such as Calculus and statistics will have a set number of pages and spaces per problem.</p>

<p>If you filled up the booklet, you either wrote too much or skipped some pages in between.</p>

<p>Yeah - you have MORE THAN ENOUGH papers to write in. I wrote approximately 11 pages for the USH exam (as in one page counts as one side) and that probably wasn’t even two-thirds of the booklet.</p>

<p>Okay, thanks for the info. My two exams this week are going to be my first AP exams, so I have no clue how it all works.</p>

<p>It’s 14 or 16 pages long. Don’t worry about not having space :)</p>

<p>And I assume it’s okay if there are several blank pages between each response?</p>

<p>Uh there really isn’t any point in leaving blank pages inbetween. I believe you have to circle which question you’re answering at the top of the page. Just make sure that if you’re starting a new essay that you start a new page.</p>

<p>Well I mean, let’s say I answer the second question first. That means I would have to skip say, four pages to save room for question one. When I go back and answer question one, if it ends up only taking up one page, then there will be three blank pages before my response to #2 starts. Does that make sense?</p>

<p>I start with number 2: _ _ _ _ #2 _ _ _
I go back and do #1: #1 _ _ _ #2 _ _ _
See how there are three blank pages between 1 and 2?</p>

<p>Well, you can just start with #2 and then do #1. There’s no need to go in order. However, there will be some what of a timed order where you’ll start the DBQ first then go onto Part B and C. </p>

<p>It’s advised that you leave large spaces in between paragraphs (not too large) in case if you have to add more things. I did that and I did not run out of space.</p>

<p>On history last year, language too, I went out of order and got 5, so it’s definitely ok. I have no idea how anyone could even come close to filling up a booklet…</p>

<p>SeekingUni - there is a box in the upper right hand corner of each page for you to write the number of the essay you are writing, so you can go in any order you want.</p>

<p>Which exam are you taking? I really don’t think you’ll run out of room - I literally wrote to the bell for AP Lang - 4 pages per essay - and I didn’t even come close.</p>

<p>AP Biology and World History.</p>

<p>I don’t think I"ll take up the pages either. I just recall that throughout the school year, my essays were kinda long and I wanted to be sure that time would be my only restraint; not writing space.</p>
