Hey peeps! I've got a question about AP Chemistry. Has anyone found reliable online sources for old AP Chem exams? I want to practice with past exam questions to get a feel for the actual test.
Hey there! Practicing with old AP Chemistry exams is a great way to prepare for the test. While the College Board doesn't provide full past exams on their website, they do offer a range of free-response questions (FRQs) from previous years, as well as the scoring guidelines and sample student responses for each. You can find the AP Chemistry FRQs from 2013 to the most recent exam on the College Board website by searching for "AP Chemistry free-response questions."
Another resource you might want to consider is the AP Chemistry course-and-exam description available on the College Board website. This document provides an outline of the test structure, as well as sample multiple-choice and free-response questions. Although not full exams, these samples are still useful for practice purposes and to familiarize yourself with the test format.
In addition, many teachers and educators have compiled collections of old AP Chem multiple-choice questions from past exams and released practice exams. A quick online search using terms like "AP Chemistry multiple-choice questions" or "AP Chemistry practice exams" can lead to a variety of resources that you might find helpful. Keep in mind that some of these sources may not be officially affiliated with the College Board; always practice discretion when selecting materials to practice with and verify the credibility of the source.
Lastly, don't forget about study books and guides designed specifically for the AP Chemistry exam, like those published by The Princeton Review, Barron's, or 5 Steps to a 5. These books usually include practice exams, along with in-depth content review and test-taking strategies.
Good luck with your AP Chemistry preparation!
