Hey guys! I'm taking AP Physics 1 this year and I really need to practice my FRQ skills. Any recommendations on where I can find a good variety of FRQs to practice? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Practicing free-response questions (FRQs) is a great way to prepare for the AP Physics 1 exam. Here are a few resources where you can find a variety of FRQs to practice:
1. College Board: The official source for FRQs would be the College Board's AP Central website (apcentral.collegeboard.org). They have an archive of past exams with the FRQ sections, along with the scoring guidelines, sample responses, and score distributions. This is an excellent starting point as the questions come directly from the creators of the exam.
2. AP Classroom: If you have access to AP Classroom through your school, you can find a lot of practice questions. Your teacher might have assigned some already, but you can also work on any additional questions for extra practice.
3. Textbooks and review books: Your AP Physics 1 textbook should have a good number of practice problems. Additionally, you can use an AP Physics 1 review book, like Princeton Review or Barron's, which usually include sections with sample FRQs and explanations.
4. Online forums: You can try searching for FRQ practice on websites like College Confidential, Reddit, or community-established AP resources like Albert.io, where students often share their favorite resources and tips for preparing for the exam.
Remember to time yourself while practicing FRQs to simulate the actual exam conditions. After completing the questions, review the scoring guidelines, and use them to assess your responses. Learn from any mistakes you make and focus on improving your understanding of the concepts.
Good luck with your AP Physics 1 studies!
