1 Section Practice Tests This section gives 18 sample problems that mix and match concepts similar to problems on the free-response section of the AP exam. While any of these examples would be a good review for students, they have been designed in three groups (A, B, and C) of six problems. In each set of six problems, the first two allow the use of a graphing calculator, and the other four do not. If a teacher gives one of these sets of six as a practice test, he can be sure that most of the concepts usually covered in an AP free-response section will be covered. However, in my attempt to be comprehensive, some examples may have more than the usual number of subparts. I have also indicated (in parentheses) how many points out of the typical nine that I would allocate for each subpart.
