AP Physics B is kicking my butt. Where are the AP Physics B FRQs?

In summary, the speaker is struggling with understanding physics but is determined to do well on the upcoming exam. They have printed out practice questions from the College Board but want to find more recent free response sections. The speaker suggests buying an AP Physics book with exercises as an alternative. The availability of the requested practice questions is uncertain.

I've REALLY been trying to grasp physics, but I just don't think my brain is wired to think that way.. I'm much more of a Humanities person, haha. BUT, I do think certain aspects of the class are interesting and I really want to do well on the exam in May. I've got the College Board FRQ's printed out already, but I've noticed that my teacher gives us homework from tests from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Where can I find only the Free Response sections of those tests? I want to get as much practice in as possible!
Thank you so much!

They're pretty hard to find. What i can tell you do is go out to Barnes and Nobels and buy an Ap Physics book with lots of exercises that way you'll get to know how to handle all kinds of problems.
