Synopsis

Includes questions and answers on Exploratory Analysis, Collecting and Producing Data, Probability, and Statistical Inference. Don't just learn why your answer is correct—learn the rationale behind why each other answer choice is incorrect, thereby reinforcing the facts you need to know in order to answer each question correctly on your AP exam.

This AP Questions and Answers test prep guide has been created specifically to help you hone your critical thinking skills, give you exposure to all of the AP-style question types such as multiple-choice, numeric response, and short and long free-response questions, and maximize your understanding of content and concepts through comprehensive explanations. It's an excellent tool for concentrated test preparation that works well alone and is doubly effective with the corresponding Barron's AP subject test review book.

Want to boost your studies with even more practice and in-depth review? Try Barron's Ultimate AP Statistics for even more prep.

About the Publisher
Many great things begin with a tiny spark, and for Manuel H. Barron that spark came from a mimeograph machine in the basement of his Brooklyn, NY, bookstore in the late 1930s. People from the community asked Mr. Barron for books to help their children study for the New York State Regents exams. After realizing there wasn't anything available, Mr. Barron created his own study guides.
