I'm currently studying for the AP World History exam and was wondering if there's a way to find old exams with solutions to practice? I think they might be really helpful in preparing for the real thing, but I'm not sure where to look.
You're right that practicing with old AP World History exams can be really helpful for your preparation. The College Board, which administers the AP exams, does provide some free-response questions (FRQs) from previous years on their website. To access these FRQs, visit the AP World History: Modern course page on the College Board's website and look for "Free-Response Questions" under the "Assessment Resources and Materials" section. This will give you a good starting point for practicing with real AP-style questions.
In addition to the FRQs provided by the College Board, consider using released exams and unofficial practice materials. There are textbooks and review books that include practice tests, as well as online resources like Khan Academy, which offers AP World History review materials, videos, and practice questions. Furthermore, browse AP-focused forums, Reddit, or other online communities where students and teachers might share additional practice materials.
Please note that some older AP World History exams might differ in format and content focus, as the exam underwent a significant redesign in 2019-2020. Be sure to account for these changes when selecting practice materials, and focus on resources that reflect the current structure and content of the exam. Good luck with your studying!
