What are Students Saying?

“I enjoyed how straight forward and clear the practice exam was. There was no question about how to do this or that, it was all very well explained. I also really liked how realistic it was. From the formatting of it to the questions on it, it was extremely accurate and similar to the real AP test. Overall, I had a very good experience using the Think Nation Practice AP exam and would recommend it to others as a great way to prepare.”

“Thinking Nation’s Practice AP Exam made me feel like I was in a real testing environment. It allowed me to pinpoint which concepts I needed to spend more time with, while also giving me personalized feedback on how my writing style could better suit the exam’s expectations.

What are Educators Saying?

"I wish something like this existed while I was in high school. I've made a career by making one-minute history videos, but unfortunately, students today need to have more in-depth knowledge and access to affordable test prep if they're going to pass the AP. That is why I trust Thinking Nation's team of AP graders, historians, and AP teachers who have created this test to be as close as possible to the real thing. If your student is struggling or worried about their exam, I would encourage them to take the AP Practice Exam with Thinking Nation."

"Thinking Nation's AP Practice Exams are an amazing way to get students more prepared and confident for the AP exam! Students benefit from getting instant feedback on their MCQs and FRQs so they can learn how to improve their scores in real time. And not only does it save teachers tons of time on grading and specific feedback, the detailed report and breakdown of how students performed is super helpful to guide the review before the big day. I’ll do with my students every year!"
