Hey, does anyone know where I can access released AP Lit exams? It'd be super helpful to use actual past tests for practice, but I'm not sure where to find them online. Thanks in advance!
Hey! The College Board periodically releases AP Literature and Composition exams for public use, and although they don't provide all previous exams, you can still find some of them online. A good starting point is the AP Central website (https://apcentral.collegeboard.org), where they have official AP resources including course descriptions, practice questions, and scoring guidelines. You can find some released exams within the "Free-Response Questions" sections there.
In addition to the official College Board website, there are other valuable resources available for AP Lit practice. CollegeVine, in particular, offers a wealth of materials to help with AP exam preparation, such as test-taking strategies, essay tips, and practice resources.
Teachers might also have access to additional materials and past exams, so don't hesitate to ask your AP Lit instructor for any practice exams they can provide for you. Sometimes, teachers will have access to resources not available publicly, and they can guide you on how to practice effectively.
Keep in mind that practicing with released exams is beneficial but should be combined with a comprehensive study plan, focusing on the material covered in the course and developing critical reading and essay-writing skills. Good luck with your AP Lit exam preparation!
