Does anyone have the answers for the APUSH practice test (2014-15) that college board has up?
no. some of the answers are posted on quizlet tho. I just looked up one question and it led me to quizlet
I have looked around for an answer key to the AP US History Practice Exam released in Fall 2014 but can’t find one. I will post my answers. Perhaps others can comment about ones where they disagree.

I thought the toughest question groups were the first one following the Ben Franklin quote on the Great Awakening (questions 1 through 3) and the one following the demographic map (questions 37 through 39). Also uncertain about question 32 (following the quote from Washington’s Farewell Address).
Gofigure321’s answers are all right except for 26 and 45 according to my answer key 26&45 are both B (this might be wrong though bc the answers were found on quizlet )
I also said C for 45 when I took the practice test
I have to say that I’m pretty confident about my original answer to 26 (i.e,. that 26 is D). The photo shows tenement life during the Gilded Age. Advocates for the urban poor wouldn’t agree that capitalism, free of government regulation, would improve conditions. Capitalism was operating mostly free of government regulations during this period, and the photo shows the conditions that had arisen under these circumstances.
With respect to number 45, I can’t see this one being B. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued in 1862, to take effect on January 1, 1863. Schurz’s report was written in 1865, so why would it illustrate debate about the issuing of the proclamation? Unless, this means debate about the effects of the proclamation?
As far as readmitting the seceded states, Lincoln presented his 10 percent plan in 1863, and he pocket vetoed the Wade Davis Bill in 1864. None of the seceding states had been readmitted by 1865, and I believe Schurz was in the South to investigate the prospects for readmission.
Great to have some feedback and discussion! Thanks, Kitsyxoxo! If anyone else has any thoughts or has seen an official answer key, please let us know!
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Yes, I have seen it, however, from the College Board:
so they cannot be posted here.
Your welcome Gofigure321 
. I picked B for 26 when I took the practice test because of the mention “improving of social conditions” part . However I see why D might be a better answer . I wish there was an official answer key available for this test .
Anyone find it?
My teacher distributed it during class today.
I agree with with all of gofigure321’s answers except for the last two. They should be D and A respectively.
Clinton warns AGAINST going back to a time when Americans “were just left to fend for themselves.” Hence, he would not “encourage self-reliance” as suggested by option B. Also, he was known to pursue a universal healthcare program. For question 55, Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” parallels Clinton’s views–NOT Reagan (although, I can see where you might fall for him due to the phrase “[t]he era of big government is over” in the excerpt).
Correct!
Got the same answers for last two!
My teacher said that the answer to 26 was b, but couldn’t explain why. I also don’t understand questions 16 and 33. Does anyone understand these?
The correct answer to 26 is (d) because the advocates for people living in bad conditions would have no faith in capitalism correcting its own ills, and would desire government to intervene to correct the situation. This is the classic conflict between Adams and Keynes’ view of government role under capitalism.
16 asks to recognize that Brown vs Board of education upheld the individual right to education regardless of race. So it would show continuity as the Miranda vs Arizona case: ©.
33 asks to recognize how America REVERSED (CEASED to have influence) its policy of Washington’s idea of neutrality by involving itself in WWII(d). © is not the answer because Woodrow Wilson declared neutrality in WWI and so was WITH Washington.
Right!
