AP Stats Help Needed

Hey everyone, I need some advice! I took AP Calc AB as a sophomore and found it pretty manageable, finishing with an A in both semesters. This semester in AP Stats started off well, and I managed to maintain an A after the first round of tests and quizzes, which were on paper.

However, this semester my teacher switched to online multiple-choice questions from College Board, and honestly, they are way more challenging than I expected. After taking two quizzes, my grade has dropped to an 80%, and I’m struggling with these assessments.

  1. Does anyone know where I can find practice questions similar to these online? While I understand the content, I really dislike the format of the AP Classroom MCQs— they just feel off to me.

  2. Is it still possible for me to raise my grade back to an A by the end of the semester?

Thanks for your help!
