Click this link: Sparknotes
Sparknotes has created a test composed of 40 multiple-choice questions that are similar to those you will find on the actual AP exam on test day. On the real AP exam, the multiple-choice section is composed of 70 questions worth 50 percent of your grade that you have 55 minutes to complete. The real exam also contains a free-response section constituting 50 percent of your final grade.
This diagnostic test will pinpoint your weak areas and tell you how to use your AP Power Pack to target those areas effectively. The test takes 30 minutes to complete.
