Advanced Placement examinations (AP exams) are exams offered in United States by the College Board and are taken each May by students. The tests are the culmination of year-long Advanced Placement (AP) courses. AP exams (with few exceptions) have a multiple-choice section and a free-response section.[1]
The AP United States History exam studies the cultural, economic, political, and social developments that have shaped the United States from c. 1491 to the present, including analyzing texts, visual sources, and other historical evidence and writing essays expressing historical arguments.[2]
