Hello! I'm preparing for the AP European History exam and I'm looking for some practice tests that closely resemble the actual exam. Do y'all have any recommendations for resources or websites that offer good practice tests? Thank you!
Hey there! It's great that you're preparing for the AP European History exam. Here are a few resources that you can use for practice tests:
1. College Board: The official AP European History course page provides practice free-response questions, scoring guidelines, and example responses. Be sure to check those out, as they're written by the same people who make the actual exam, and thus can give you the best possible idea of what to expect.
2. CollegeVine: While not a practice test, CollegeVine's blog has a series of posts breaking down particular AP exams, including the European History test: https://blog.collegevine.com/ultimate-guide-to-european-history-ap-exam/. You can also find expert college admissions advisors on CollegeVine's website, some of whom may offer specialized guidance on AP exams.
3. Albert: Albert.io has questions written by AP teachers that focus on important AP European History themes and subjects. While it's a paid resource, many students feel the fee is worth it, as it gives them access to a large repository of questions for thorough practice.
4. Textbook Companion Websites: Many textbooks have companion websites that offer chapter quizzes and full-length practice tests. If you're using a textbook to study, see if the publisher has an accompanying website with practice materials.
Remember, it's important not only to take practice tests but also to analyze your mistakes and understand why you answered certain questions incorrectly. If you're aiming for an especially high score, you may even want to analyze the questions you got right, to ensure your overall process was sound and you didn't just accidentally arrive at the right answer. Good luck!
