Are students permitted to use their programmable or graphing calculators on the AP Exam?
Students are not permitted to use calculators on the multiple-choice section of the exam (Section I). Calculators are permitted only for Part A of the free-response section (Section II). Most types of scientific, programmable, and graphing calculators can be used if they do not have typewriter-style (QWERTY) keyboards. Calculator memories do not have to be cleared. Students may not share calculators during the exam.
