Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a better understanding of the types of questions on the AP US History exam. Does anyone have any reliable sources where I can find sample questions? I want to practice to be prepared for the real thing. Thanks!
Hello! To find sample questions for the AP US History exam, I recommend starting with the official College Board website. They provide free-response questions (FRQs) from past exams, which can help you get a good sense of the format and content expectations. You can access them here: https://apstudents.collegeboard.org/courses/ap-united-states-history/free-response-questions-by-year
For multiple-choice questions, you can check out the AP US History Course and Exam Description (CED), which has a selection of practice questions that align with the most recent exam format. Here's the link to the CED: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/pdf/ap-us-history-course-and-exam-description.pdf?course=ap-united-states-history
Lastly, consider investing in an AP US History prep book, such as the ones from The Princeton Review, Barron's, or Kaplan. These books typically include comprehensive content reviews, test-taking tips, and practice exams that reflect the current exam format.
Good luck with your APUSH preparation!
