Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

AP United States History

Although there is a large volume of historical information to master, the current APUSH exam focuses more on applying knowledge and historical thinking skills (analysis, argumentation, etc.) rather than solely testing rote memorization of events.
APUSH focuses in-depth and in detail on the history of the United States of America from 1491 to the present, differing from the global scope of World History or the European regional focus of European History.
Historical thinking skills (source analysis, contextualization, argumentation, etc.), the ability to connect events/themes, and good writing skills for SAQ, LEQ, and DBQ formats are key.
Short Answer Questions (SAQ), Document-Based Questions (DBQ), and Long Essay Questions (LEQ) constitute a very large proportion of the final score, directly assessing students' analytical and historical argumentation abilities.
Intertu helps systematize knowledge of U.S. History by periods and key themes, while also focusing on intensive development of historical thinking skills and effective test-taking strategies for both multiple-choice questions and the SAQ, DBQ, and LEQ formats.
