So, I'm in the midst of studying for my AP Biology exam and was hoping to find some past exams or papers to practice on. Do you have any suggestions on where I could find past AP Biology exams?
While College Board, the organization that creates the AP exams, does not publicly release full copies of past AP Biology exams, they do provide some free response questions from previous years on their website. These can be a good resource if you're looking for practice.
Another place to check out is Khan Academy. Khan Academy has partnered with College Board to provide practice resources for many AP exams including AP Biology. Their resources include practice multiple-choice questions, free-response questions, and full-length practice tests.
Lastly, it might be beneficial to invest in an AP Biology review book. These books often include practice exams and can be a useful resource to measure your understanding and readiness for the actual exam. Some highly recommended ones include 5 Steps to a 5 and Barron's AP Biology. Just ensure you have the most recent edition to reflect any changes in the exam format or content.
Keep in mind the format of the AP exams as you practice. The digital AP Biology exam has two sections: multiple-choice questions and free-response questions. The multiple-choice section includes 60 questions, and you will have 90 minutes to complete this section. The free-response section includes 6 questions, and you will have 90 minutes to complete this section as well.
Good luck with your studies!
