As we noted on the blog earlier, the College Board has just released a new secure practice test. This has potential for us as teachers to "take the challenge" as well as to use this as a teaching tool in the classroom. Please keep in mind that great questions are hard to find, so maintaining the integrity of the test is critical.
To help in selecting possible questions or helping students identify areas of weakness later when you may give this exam, below is a table of the items sorted by topic. As each text is somewhat differently organized, it may not be a perfect match, but the material is in chapter-like groups in the first table, and in College Board Score report groups in the second table.
** You can also download this list as a Word document.

Thank you for this. It is so helpful!
Great resource! I use a table like this at AP workshops so that we as a group can identify areas of strength/weakness and figure out which chapters we should focus on. This same process could be used with kids before the exam? They could use this information to figure out which chapter they should spend time studying instead of trying to review "everything." Nicely done!
