Hey everyone, I'm trying to study for the AP US exam and would love to see some example test questions (from both multiple choice and free response sections) to get an idea of what to expect. Can someone point me in the right direction to find such resources? Thanks in advance!
Hello! To help you prepare for the AP US exam, I recommend exploring the following resources where you can find sample questions for both the multiple-choice and free-response sections:
1. College Board website: As the organization that designs AP exams, the College Board provides sample questions (including past exam questions) on their website. Visit their AP US History Past Questions webpage here: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-united-states-history/exam/past-exam-questions
2. AP Classroom: Your AP teacher might have access to AP Classroom, which is a resource provided by the College Board. Here, you'll find a plethora of resources, including sample questions and practice quizzes. Be sure to ask your AP teacher about this tool if you're interested.
3. Review books: Invest in an updated AP US History review book, such as Barron's or Princeton Review. These books usually include sample questions (multiple-choice and free response), practice quizzes, and test-taking strategies.
Make sure to practice under timed conditions with a diverse range of questions, so you're prepared for the structure and pacing of the actual exam. As you progress in your studies, you can track your performance on these practice questions to identify your strengths and areas in need of improvement. Good luck with your AP US History exam preparation!
