Introduction

Congratulations on your decision to take the Advanced Placement exam in United States history! The test is a big oneits content measures your knowledge of U.S. history from pre-Columbian societies to the present. After taking a college-level class, you will certainly have a large base of historical knowledge heading into the exam. However, the AP exam asks you to take what youve learned one step further and apply that knowledge in complex and analytic situations to show evidence of college-level learning.

This guide offers not only a full review of U.S. history but, more importantly, specific skills and strategies successful students use to score higher on the AP exam. In the following chapters, you will encounter reading strategies for your day-to-day assignments, writing strategies for the Document-Based, Short-Answer, and Long Essay Questions (DBQs, SAQs, and LEQs), and analytical skills for both documents and multiple-choice questions. Rote memorization of facts, dates, and events alone does not ensure success. While a solid foundation of historical knowledge is critical to your learning, application of that knowledge earns top scores. Keep the skills and strategies you learn in to assess where you stand before tackling the course reviews.

The course reviews are the meat of this guide. These units and chapters are arranged chronologically to correlate with your classroom textbook and the College Boards course description guide for the new AP exam. We have made sure to give you a solid review of the most-tested vocabulary, people, places, and concepts on the AP test. Each part contains review questions and detailed explanations of test items to help you determine whether you need further study of an era of history or if you can move on to the next one.

Finally, Part Three offers four full-length practice tests that closely mirror the actual AP exam, with test-like DBQs and FRQs and detailed answer explanations.

Are you ready for your adventure through the study and mastery of everything AP U.S. History? Good luck!

The AP Test Development Committee designs the AP U.S. History exam yearly as an opportunity for you to demonstrate mastery of skills typically found in introductory college U.S. History classes.

The exam, divided into two sections, is three hours and fifteen minutes long. Section I is 1 hour and 45 minutes long and consists of 55 multiple-choice questions and four short-answer questions. Section II is 1 hour and 30 minutes long and consists of one document-based question (DBQ) and one long essay question (LEQ).

SectionNumber of QuestionsTime
IPart A: 55 Multiple-choice questions 40%55 minutes
Part B: 4 Short-answer questions 20%50 minutes
IIPart A: Document-based question 25%55 minutes
Part B: Long essay question 15%35 minutes
Total:3 hours and 15 minutes
Section I, Part A: Multiple-Choice Questions

The 55 multiple-choice questions will be divided into sets of two to five questions based on a primary or secondary source, historian's argument, or historical problem. These questions assess your ability to understand and interpret the stimulus material as well as your knowledge of the historical issue being tested. Even if a set of questions is based on a specific portion of U.S. history, the individual questions may require you to thematically link the stimulus to other eras.

Section I, Part B: Short-Answer Questions

These four questions, timed at 10 to 12 minutes each, will concern a theme in U.S. history. At least two of the questions will provide you with a choice so you can exhibit your strengths by having you use historical and critical thinking to react to a primary source, a historian's argument, secondary sources (e.g., data or maps), or general suggestions about U.S. history. All four of these questions will require you to pinpoint and explore examples of historical evidence related to the source or question. Because these questions are short-answer questions, you do not need to develop and support a thesis statement.

Section II, Part A: Document-Based Question

The document-based question (DBQ) allows you to demonstrate your ability to examine and integrate data and appraise verbal, quantitative, or visual evidence. Like the long essay, the DBQ is evaluated based on your ability to devise a thesis statement and back it up with applicable evidence. The documents this essay is based on can vary in length and format. Question content can contain charts, graphs, cartoons, and pictures, in addition to written materials. You are expected to be able to connect the given documents with a historical period or theme while honing in on significant periods and issues. Therefore, it is essential to demonstrate your familiarity with historical themes, rather than just the events and people important to the question's focus, to earn the highest scores.
