Hey y'all! I'm just starting to prepare for next year's AP Bio exam, and I'm wondering which resources are the best for finding past exams with multiple choice questions. Are there any official College Board resources or other websites that you'd recommend? Appreciate any advice!
You're off to a great start by preparing early for the AP Biology exam! For finding multiple choice questions from past exams, it's a good idea to focus on both official and unofficial resources. Here are some suggestions:
1. Official College Board resources: The College Board occasionally releases full-length official exams, which include multiple choice sections. Keep an eye on the College Board's official website for AP Biology, as they may post practice materials. Additionally, the official "AP Biology Course and Exam Description" contains a few sample multiple choice questions, so that's worth checking out too.
2. AP Classroom: If you're taking an AP Biology class at school, your teacher may have access to the AP Classroom, a resource provided by the College Board. This platform offers many multiple choice questions that can be assigned as practice by your teacher. Reach out to them and see if they can provide you with access or any additional questions.
3. Review books: There are several AP Biology review books available, such as the ones by Barron's, Princeton Review, or 5 Steps to a 5. These books often contain practice exams with multiple choice questions, and although they're not official College Board materials, they still give you a sense of the type of questions you can expect on the exam.
4. Online resources: Many websites have AP Bio practice questions and tests available, either user-generated or compiled from various sources. Some recommended sites include Albert.io, Varsity Tutors, and Khan Academy. While some sites may have a mix of high-quality and lower-quality questions, they can still be valuable resources for practice.
Remember that answering multiple choice questions is just one aspect of AP Biology preparation. Be sure to balance your study sessions with content review, free-response question practice, and lab work to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the material. Good luck!
