>3000 Multiple Choice Questions
Multiple choice tests can be found here. These tests are written by the education department in New York State. The questions cover basic chemistry and are not as challenging as AP Chemistry multiple choice questions. However, they are great practice and will help you understand AP chemistry questions more quickly.
 * New York State Regents Exam ** - Easier than AP Chemistry

Here's how to download everything you need:
 * 1) Click on any month / year (i.e. January, 2012)
 * 2) Click on the word "examination." The file will download. It has two sections of multiple choice questions, with a total of 50 questions. These are followed by about 30 free response questions. The free response questions are also good review questions, but I urge you to practice the multiple choice first.
 * 3) Click on the words "scoring guide and rating chart." This link contains the answers to all the questions.

These exams give you 1500 multiple choice questions to try. There are ten years of exams available, many of those years contain three different exams, and each exam has about 50 multiple choice questions.

Each year, teams of four students represent their country in a competition on three different exams - a multiple choice, a free response, and a lab practical. They meet for a week in July. Before being selected for the national team, the students must compete in their own country. The American Chemical Society publishes the exams that were used to select local students for joining the national team.
 * International Chemistry Olympiad** - Harder than AP Chemistry

When you click on the link above, you will see more than ten years of past exams. Click on any exam name and it will download to your computer. Warning: it looks like nothing is happening, because a blank screen opens in your browser. However, if you check your downloads folder, you will see the exam in there. The downloaded test contains the answers on the last page of the file. In total, these exams will give you more than 1500 multiple choice questions to practice. Each local exam and each national exam part I contains 60 questions.

These questions can be considered harder than AP exam questions in some respects, because they cover a broader range of topics than found on the AP exam. Furthermore, calculators are allowed on the Olympiad exams, but it's best if you practice your mental math skills. You can also practice the free response questions (national exam part II) and lab questions (national exam part III).
