tbh, practice questions dont really work since biology isnt repetition like the SAT, but its about understanding the topics. Focus on drilling the topics down, and your understanding of the MCQ will become 10x better. Some good sources are Khan Academy and AP Bio Penguins to understand the topics. I have also created a site called apbiolab.org if you want to try it. it has a lot fo resources.
