This APUSH review guide goes over content throughout the whole course and helped me to get a 5 on the APUSH exam.
Note: If you're trying to access through your school account, some school districts have banned opening documents from an outside organization. You might want to switch to your personal account if that occurs because I can't give you permission.

Both Heimler’s History and Crash Course provides comprehensible videos for each unit. You’ll be able to get the overarching events/themes of each unit through these videos. He also connects themes across time periods which is quite helpful for contextualization. I personally used Heimler’s History for AP World History and Crash Course for APUSH, and did really well in both classes.

AP tests have similar formats every year. I’ve found that if you do enough practice tests, the same types of questions will begin to pop up. Collegeboard provides FRQs from the past years, scoring guidelines, and sample student responses.

Alongside FRQs, it’s also helpful to practice the multiple chose (MC) section of the exam. While Collegeboard does not release the MCs every year, there are some full released exams containing MCs that you can practice on.
