Hey, AP History folks! I'm trying to improve my skills with multiple choice questions and could use some recommendations on websites or books with practice questions. What resources did you find helpful to prepare for this part of the test? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Preparing for the multiple choice section of the AP History exam is a great idea, and I'm glad you're looking for resources. Here are a few recommendations to get you started:
1. Official College Board Resources: The College Board's website offers free-response questions (FRQs), but they also provide sample multiple choice questions in their AP Classroom platform for teachers. If you haven't already, I recommend asking your AP History teacher if they can share some of the College Board's multiple choice practice questions with you.
2. Barron's or Princeton Review test prep books: These publications offer comprehensive review guides for various AP exams, including AP History. They typically include content review, test-taking strategies, and practice questions, including multiple choice. Check your local bookstore or online retailers like Amazon for the latest editions.
3. Albert.io: This subscription-based website offers excellent practice materials for various AP tests, including AP History and provides you with multiple choice practice questions that closely replicate the style of questions you'll encounter on the actual exam. They also offer diagnostic quizzes to identify your strengths and weaknesses, which can help you focus on areas that need improvement.
4. Varsity Tutors: This platform offers free practice tests, including AP History multiple choice questions. It's an excellent resource to gauge your progress. Plus, it also provides explanations for the answers, which can be very helpful for learning and understanding the content.
5. Khan Academy: Khan Academy has AP prep courses available for free, including AP US History, AP World History, and AP European History. While the courses primarily focus on content, they sometimes include practice questions that could help improve your multiple choice skills.
Using a combination of these resources should give you plenty of practice opportunities. Remember to track your progress, so you can focus on areas that need improvement. Good luck with your preparation!
