Where to find previous AP tests?

Hey y'all! I'm taking a few AP courses this year and I want to practice using actual old exams for studying. Does anyone know where I could find previous AP tests for various subjects? Are there any trusted sources online?

Absolutely! One trusted source for previous AP tests is the College Board, the organization responsible for creating the AP exams. They provide free-response questions (FRQs) from past exams on their website. Keep in mind that they don't provide the full AP exams, but you'll have access to past FRQs, which can be quite helpful for practice.

To access the FRQs, visit the College Board's AP Students page (apstudents.collegeboard.org) and select the specific AP course you're taking. Once on the course page, look for the section called "Free-Response Questions." There, you'll find FRQs from recent years, along with scoring guidelines and sample responses.

In addition, there are some unofficial sources that offer previous AP tests or practice tests. One helpful site is AP Central, run by the College Board, which often has teacher-created materials, including practice tests. Another reliable site is CrackAP (crackap.com), which provides practice exams and FRQs for numerous AP courses.

When using unofficial sources, it's important to verify that the practice materials are up-to-date and aligned with the current AP exam format. The best way to do this is to cross-reference the practice questions with the College Board's website, making sure the topics and question styles match.

Lastly, consider investing in an AP prep book or guide, which includes multiple practice tests along with tips and content reviews for your specific exam. Popular publishers include The Princeton Review, Kaplan, and Barron's. While it's an additional cost, these books can be a valuable resource for exam preparation. Good luck with your studying!
