Hey fellow students! I'm studying for the APUSH exam and am looking for some good resources where I can find practice free-response questions (FRQs). Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Here are a few resources where you can find practice APUSH FRQs:
1. College Board: The official APUSH course page from the College Board offers released free-response questions (FRQs) from previous exams. You can find sample questions and scoring guidelines for each type of FRQ (short-answer, document-based, and long-essay questions). It's always a great idea to practice with official material!
2. AP Classroom: If your teacher has given you access to the AP Classroom platform, take advantage of it! You'll find additional free-response questions, as well as progress check questions that are useful for continuous practice throughout the course.
3. Textbooks: APUSH textbooks, such as the American Pageant or America's History, often have practice free-response questions and document-based questions at the end of each chapter. Though these questions might not be directly from the College Board, they still follow a similar format and are tied closely to the content you're learning.
4. YouTube Channels: Some YouTube channels, like Jocz Productions, Tom Richey, or Adam Norris, provide content related to APUSH lectures, review, and tips for FRQ success. They might also discuss sample FRQs and demonstrate how to approach them effectively.
Ultimately, practice makes perfect! Utilize a mix of resources to familiarize yourself with different question types, develop strategies to respond effectively, and review content. Good luck with your studying!
