Is it just me, or are the Official AP Practice Tests hard?

<p>I took different practice tests made by the CollegeBoard to give out to teachers who then let use it.</p>

<p>The questions were a LOT more abstract and difficult.</p>

<p>European history and Psych AP practice tests were weird, and the released tests in the past were much easier.</p>

<p>Maybe they're made more difficult so kids wouldn't gain confidence and study less?</p>
