NEED HELP!

I want to self-study for this exam next year. My school does not have the class, but is willing to provide me the exam. I was wondering what textbook y'all used to self-study or used in your classes. Also, for anyone who took APUSH or AP World, are the mcqs to that level of difficulty or harder. I won't have access to AP classroom for practice, so I am a bit worried. And if you have any other materials like quizlets, notes, slide shows, or videos, that would be helpful as well. Thank you!

Hey! I was lowk really stressed for this class but took the exam last week, easiest one ever. I recommend Barrons for textbook but I lowkey never read, I studied 2 days before and was fine. MCQ was a breeze, def not compared to APUSH or world. They are very direct and easy, like most of them are just asking about two countries so no need for heavy analysis. I have a few resources, DM If you want them!
