Get the Barron’s AP Music Theory book and start going through it. The first couple of chapters are basic theory that you should’ve already learned at your stage, but they progressively get more challenging. By chance, if you have perfect pitch like some of the rest of us who have taken it, you pretty much are guaranteed a 4, at the very least. Just listening to any music will help immensely. Also, this is way in advance, seeing as you have a whole year until the test, but learn your cadences. They are an integral part of the FRQs, and if you know them, you have a very low chance of not passing the exam.
