Detailed Information
About AP US History
About the AP US History Exam
AP US History (APUSH) is a comprehensive history exam examining American history from 1491 to the present across 9 periods. The exam includes 55 MCQs, 3 Short Answer Questions (SAQs), 1 Document-Based Question (DBQ) and 1 Long Essay Question (LEQ). Historical thinking skills (causation, continuity/change, comparison, contextualization) form the foundation of the exam.
TestPrep Strategy for Scoring 5 on AP US History
In APUSH, the DBQ requires constructing an argument using 7 given historical documents and is the most heavily weighted section. TestPrep APUSH tutors teach document analysis techniques (HIPP - Historical context, Intended audience, Purpose, Point of view), thesis statement creation and evidence integration strategies. Key events, themes and turning points of each period are studied systematically. American history-specific terminology and conceptual framework are strengthened through one-on-one lessons.
