AP U.S. History Test Prep
his is a mini-course available to former and current high school American History students who are interested in taking the AP US History test in May, 2024.

The AP US History test consists of 55 multiple choice questions, four short answer questions, one document-based essay, and one free response essay, covering the content of US History from 1491 (pre-Columbus) to today. The content is divided into 9 units:
- Unit 1: Pre-Columbus America to Jamestown.

- Unit 7: Imperialism through WWII.
- Unit 8: Cold War through Reagan.
- Unit 9: First Gulf War to Today.
In this course, we will review the content of one unit each week. The course also includes practice with sample questions from former exams, study strategies, and feedback on practice essays. Passing the College board’s AP US History test provides the student with six hours of college credit, accepted by most colleges and universities.
