Understanding the structure of the test, what’s covered, and how much each section is worth is essential to passing this exam and deciding how to spend your time prepping for this exam.

‍

‍

Access AP Daily Videos

If you haven’t taken the time to check out the AP Daily videos that College Board provides to students when they enroll in their AP classes or sign up for the AP exam, then you are missing out on a huge resource.

‍

AP Daily videos are great for learning the concepts covered on the test. They are best used as a review resource to cover anything you need further explanation on from week to week when you are learning concepts covered on the test or learning a concept your teacher at school never bothered to cover in class.

‍

If you already feel pretty confident that you are at least familiar with every unit covered by the exam, you’re better off just watching the college board’s AP unit review videos posted to Youtube (see the next section for a link to unit review resources).

‍

Here’s a link to instructions on how to watch AP Daily Videos:

‍

Access AP Review Sessions

The College Board has hired university professors and outstanding high school teachers to record unit review videos that will help you review weeks’ worth of exam concepts in a single sitting.

‍

Unfortunately, whoever manages the College Board’s Youtube content could not be bothered to put the unit review videos in sequential order from the first unit to the last. So, you’ll want to keep that in mind and start reviewing earlier units first if you want to review the content in order.

‍

Here is a link for students in the final stretch of their AP Exam review who want to watch College Board unit review videos with AP Teachers and Professors (you will need to navigate to the AP Statistics review session playlist, but the content is very well organized, so it should be easy to find): College Board Unit Review Videos

‍

AP Exam Concept Notes

This resource calls itself a study guide, but really it’s just a set of written notes for reviewing every concept covered on the exam.

‍

Here’s a link to downloadable AP Statistics concept notes:

AP Exam Multiple Choice Questions With Answers

The link below will take you to all of the multiple-choice sections used on the College Board’s AP Statistics practice exams.

‍

The two resources listed below include two full-length practice multiple-choice sections with the solutions attached at the bottom of each resource. The only catch is that they are laid out in a way that you may want to solve them on a separate sheet of paper and then check your answers at the back of the pdf later since there’s not much room to do your work on the test if you were going to print these questions.
