Where can I find AP Statistics practice questions?

Start with the sample prompt types on this page, then move into the official AP Statistics past-exams page for the strongest calibration.

Are AP Stats sample questions enough to study from?

They are useful for pattern recognition, but you should follow them with real timed practice and official prompts.

What should I do after reviewing AP Stats examples?

Pick one question type or weak skill and do a short timed set immediately so the example turns into active practice.

Question 1 of 10 · Unit 1: Data Analysis

Easy

A data set of home prices is strongly right-skewed.

Which measure of center best describes the typical home price?

Question 2 of 10 · Unit 2: Bivariate Data

Easy

A strong positive correlation between ice cream sales and drowning incidents most likely indicates

Question 3 of 10 · Unit 3: Data Collection

Medium

Which sampling method best supports generalizing results to a population?

Question 4 of 10 · Unit 4: Probability

Medium

In a deck of 52 cards, P(King) = 4/52 and P(Heart) = 13/52. P(King AND Heart) = 1/52.

What is P(King | Heart)?

Question 5 of 10 · Unit 5: Sampling Distributions

Medium

A population has mean μ = 50 and standard deviation σ = 10. A simple random sample of n = 100 is drawn. What is the approximate distribution of the sample mean?

Question 6 of 10 · Unit 6: Proportions Inference

Medium

A 95% confidence interval for a population proportion is (0.52, 0.68). Which statement is the most accurate interpretation?

Question 7 of 10 · Unit 7: Means Inference

Hard

In a hypothesis test, the p-value = 0.03 at significance level α = 0.05. Which conclusion is appropriate?

Question 8 of 10 · Unit 8: Chi-Square

Medium

Which type of chi-square test compares observed frequencies of a single categorical variable to a hypothesized distribution?

Question 9 of 10 · Unit 9: Regression

Medium

A least-squares regression line predicts study hours (x) to exam score (y): ŷ = 50 + 4x.

Which interpretation of the slope is correct?

Question 10 of 10 · Unit 3 + Unit 5

Hard

A school nurse wants to determine whether a new vaccine reduces flu cases. Which is the strongest study design?

4 moves that pick up easy AP Stats points

Small writing habits that turn a partial-credit FRQ into a full-credit one. Apply them as you work through the questions above.

1
Check conditions before running the procedure
Every inference FRQ wants random sample + appropriate normality/success-failure checks BEFORE the arithmetic. Skipping this is a -1 reflex no matter how perfect the calculation is.
2
Interpret in context
Slopes, intervals, p-values - all need to be tied back to the story. 'We are 95% confident the true proportion of supporters is between 0.49 and 0.63' beats 'the interval is (0.49, 0.63).'
3
Never say 'accept the null'
Use 'reject' or 'fail to reject.' The rubric flags 'accept' or 'prove' as incorrect. Hypotheses are either rejected with evidence or left standing without enough evidence.
4
Use four-step inference structure
State - Plan - Do - Conclude. Name the procedure, check conditions, do the math, state the conclusion in context. Graders look for each step.

AP Stats practice - common questions

Write your response to any FRQ on this page and we'll score it against the College Board rubric in seconds. You get a breakdown of which points you earned, which you missed, and exactly what to add to pick them up.

Yes. Every MCQ and FRQ on this page is built around the task shapes the College Board keeps returning to. If a topic isn't on the exam, it isn't on this page.

Guessing wastes study time. The fastest shortcut is to hand us one FRQ - we flag the units and skills it reveals as weak (e.g. inference conditions, interpretation in context, or experimental design) so your next study block targets the gap instead of covering everything equally.

The past-exams page collects the released free-response sets. Pair them with the questions on this page for a full calibration: released prompts show you the exact difficulty, these show you the recurring patterns.

Open official AP Stats FRQs

Most colleges accept a 4 or 5. Some accept a 3. Composite thresholds move year to year, but roughly: 44+ for a 3, and about 70+ for a 5. Use the calculator to see where your current practice puts you.
