im taking this test right now hahaI need help apush practice exam answers?? How do i know Im right?
Just google 1 that is pretty unique that no other test would have worded in the same way

make sure to put "double quotes" around the entire question to tell google that you want an exact match

you might find the same questions on another teachers page with answers

or you might have to do this for every question

but odds are the questions are out there on the internet somewhere.

This is what i did last year on our take home test TO CHECK MY ANSWERS!

Make sure you actually study if you plan to take the AP exam
