FREE Practice AP, SAT, PSAT Exams


Through my school district, I was able to order the 2012-13 AP US Government and Politics review book. Inside the front cover is a link to free practice exam questions that they promise to update regularly. Overall, I found the questions fair, and I enjoyed how after taking the 25 question exam that they provide an explanation for every answer.

If you do not teach an AP class, I highly recommend you show your students the free SAT and PSAT practice questions.

For the past five years I have been teaching AP US Government and Politics. Part of the challenge and fun of teaching an AP course is becoming familiar with the content and types of questions students need to know. Compared to many state curriculums, the College Board does not provide a "list" of content that students need to know for the annual exams. Therefore, I have found that McGraw Hill's 5 Steps to a 5 review books are a great resource for helping students get ready for AP exams in May. The books do a great job explaining complex concepts, while also providing well written practice questions. You can purchase a new version of their review books for approximately $10, though you can buy older versions from sites like Amazon for just a few bucks (and the information is pretty much the same!).

  1. That's an educative book! Will buy it for exam counseling. Attending one to one lectures with Mobile Bar Review Courses is helping us to flourish our knowledge. All sections are covered according to the format given in starting. Books and guides prepared to give wonderful solutions to all problems are super cool.
