Review Notes

This website provides a lot of resources that can help with the AP Music Theory exam. There are both interactive exercises and notes.

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.

Collegeboard Past FRQs

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.

Full Released Exams

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. Here are two links to websites that contain practice exams.
