Yes, you can use a calculator. Each student is expected to bring a graphing calculator with statistical capability to the exam. Computational capabilities should include standard statistical univariate and bivariate summaries, through linear regression. Graphical capabilities should include common univariate and bivariate displays, such as histograms, boxplots, and scatterplots.

The College Board has supplied a list of approved calculators. You cannot use minicomputers, pocket organizers, electronic writing pads, or calculators with QWERTY (i.e., typewriter) keyboards. Proctors are required to check calculators before the exam. Therefore, it is important to have an approved calculator.

In 2018, the AP Statistics exam will be administered one time for most students on the afternoon of Thursday, May 17. For some students, in extreme circumstances, the exam may be administered late.

Only students affected by extreme circumstances may test late. Check with your local coordinator about late testing. Try to take the exam at its normal time, since you may not be eligible to take the late test.

Most of the nation's colleges provide course credit or advanced standing for a good score on the Advanced Placement Statistics Exam. To check the policy at your college, visit AP Credit Policy Info.

Yes. The College Board does not require students to complete a formal course before taking the AP Statistics exam. This means that students who have been homeschooled can take the exam. And students who have developed proficiency through self-study can take the exam.

If your school offers AP courses, talk to the AP Coordinator. He or she will help you register. If you are homeschooled or attend a school that does not offer AP, you can still take the AP Statistics Exam.

• Call AP Services no later than March 1 to identify local AP Coordinator for the statistics exam.
• Call the local AP Coordinator no later than March 15.

Warning: Some schools require students to register earlier, occasionally as early as December. To avoid problems, check with your own school about registration deadlines.
