AP AP Precalculus Past Papers

The 2025 AP Precalculus Free-Response section comprised four 6-point multi-part questions across two 30-minute parts (Part A with graphing calculator, Part B without). While computational and table-reading tasks in Question 1 saw solid execution, students struggled heavily with analytical reasoning about secant lines versus concavity in Question 2, parameter derivation for high-frequency sinusoidal models in Question 3, and non-calculator algebraic manipulation of quadratic-form exponential equations in Question 4.

The 2024 AP Precalculus Free-Response section comprised 4 questions totaling 24 marks across two 30-minute parts (Part A with graphing calculator; Part B without). While students showed competent graphical interpretation on Questions 1 and 3, performance plummeted on symbolic manipulation without a calculator (Question 4 mean of 1.28/6) and contextual rate-of-change/concavity justifications (Question 2 mean of 2.03/6).
