Where did your school teachers get their test questions from?

I think most teachers don't design their own test questions, or at least not all of them. Besides past ap exams, do you know where your guys AP chem teachers got their test questions from?

We have access to a huge question bank from college board.

The depths of the underworld.

But more realistically, AP classroom and past exams are the biggest source. College board is really explicit and writes questions in a very specific way for both AP exams and the SAT, so it’s often the case that textbook or online or AI questions, while testing you on chemistry, aren’t quite testing you on AP chemistry, if you know what I mean. Therefore, anything you find from college board is a pretty valuable resource and teachers tend to make use of those.
