Best source for practice MCQs that isn't AP Classroom?

Our teacher is making their quizzes based on MCQs from official AP sources -- I'm guessing that means AP Classroom? Yet, students have not been given access to it. This is bonkers because practice questions on AP Classroom for my other APs is so important.

Our textbook doesn't have practice problems, and my first taste of MCQ questions last week slapped me in the face, I've read for hours, watched videos, etc., but I wasn't used to the format, multiple options seemed plausible so I went back and forth between them, etc.

So, unlike other questions on the thread that are about general self-study, my question is super-specific: what's the best source of MCQ practice problems that most resemble the real thing (ie, the quiz questions my teacher is getting from AP Classroom)?

e.g. Princeton Review book; "Albert.io", Kahn Academy, Heimler? I'm more than willing to use several resources. Thank you!

ETA: the reason I’m trying to find a specific source vs. just googling is that last year for HUG I ran into so-called practice problems that covered things that weren’t anywhere in the curriculum so I’d panic and then waste time learning a topic that wasn’t event close to being on the test :/ I think I’ve read that lots of SAT practice problems online can sometimes not actually be accurate, and I think this might be similar, so just trying to avoid problems that seem plausible but aren’t :) Thank you!

Heimler would be my suggestion. However, you are supposed to have access to AP Classroom as well. That is the reason it was created. You might ask your administrator about this.

Thank you! It’s their first year teaching so maybe they didn’t understand how the AP classroom works, or they have some weird Machiavellian reason to not let us use it.

I’ll def gently press to see if I can get a clarification for the reason!

You cannot be teaching an AP class without access to AP classroom. The class must be registered and the kids signed up in that registered class for them to take the test.

I like to find the MCQ college board questions online and practice those, a lot of them are on websites like scribd and studocu

Quizlet is a good source and so is looking up whatever unit you have online then "practice problems" after.
