US History

AP classes, a college­level

textbook serves as the course’s foundation.

US History AP Exam The US History AP course covers American history from 1491 to the present. The exam is divided into two sections: multiple choice and free response. In the multiple­choice section, you’ll be given four answer choices for each question and will need to choose the correct answer. In the free­response section, you’ll be asked to write three essays: an analytical essay, a synthesis essay, and an argumentative essay.

You can expect to spend about 2­3 hours on the exam, including time for both sections. While that may seem like a lot of time, remember that you’ll have plenty of time to prepare before the exam. Be sure to use your time wisely so that you’re ready when test day comes around!

Composite score range The College Board has given data on the required composite score range (out of 180) for each grade.
