High school students who are taking AP classes are getting ready to take their exams in May.  I like to have resources available for our students to use for studying besides their class content.  One of the pages on my media center webpage contains testing information on the ACT, SAT, ASVAB and AP exams.

This information includes links to official sites, print and ebooks we have available and practice test sites.  We have print books available for checkout and also in our Gale Virtual Reference Library we have a series of books on Preparing for the AP Exam which cover math, history, psychology and science topics. They are published by Course Technology PTR.

We are also fortunate that our students have access to the Learning Express Library that our public library has in its collection.  Our students can use their digital access cards to use this program. The College Prep Center contains 2 practice exams for each subject and ebooks for AP Biology and AP US History.  It also has ACT and SAT practice tests and ebooks.  Here are some more resources to consider:
