Studying for AP World History: Past Exams?

Hi there! I'm trying to prep for the AP World History exam and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find past exams or practice problems that I can use?

Absolutely, practicing with past AP World History exams or practice problems is a great approach to help you get a feeling for the format of the test and the types of questions asked. While there isn't a central place where you can access all past exams in their entirety, there are resources where you can find real AP questions from previous exams.

The College Board, who develop and administer the AP exams, has a number of free-response questions (FRQs) on their website. These questions come from past exams and can provide you with a good understanding of the types of questions you could encounter.

You can also use their AP Classroom platform, where they offer a variety of resources including AP Daily Videos, topic questions, and progress checks. This tool is usually provided through your AP teacher, so be sure to ask them for access if you have not already.

Additionally, study guides and review books often contain practice exams modeled after the real thing. For instance, the Princeton Review and Barron's AP World History guidebooks come with practice tests included. Just be sure to choose a recent version, as the AP World History exam format was changed in 2017.

Remember to time yourself while taking these practice exams to mimic the conditions of the real test. The more you practice under these conditions, the better you'll be able to manage your time on the actual exam day.

Hope this helps and good luck with your exam preparation!
