Cracking the AP:

About the AP World History Exam:
The AP World course is extremely broad, covering the time beginning at 800 BCE through the present.  While this may seem very daunting, the exam is structured around 5 course themes and 19 key concepts within 6 chronological periods.  By focusing on these specific concepts, the topic is much more manageable.  The 5 themes are:

1.) Environment: Interaction between humans and their environment.
2.) Cultures: Development and interaction.
3.) States: Building, expansion, and conflict.
4.) Economic systems: Creation, expansion, and interaction.
5.) Social Structures: Development and transformation.

For further information about the themes, key concepts, and chronological periods, be sure to check out the College Board’s AP World History Course and Exam Description.

The AP World History Exam format is:
70 Multiple-choice questions (55 minutes)
1 Document-based question (50 minutes)
1 Continuity and change-over-time essay (40 minutes)
1 Comparative essay (40 minutes)

The multiple-choice questions account for half of your grade and the 3 free-response questions account for the other half.

When is the AP World History Exam?
The AP World History Exam for the 2012/2013 school year will be held on Thursday, May 16th 2013 at 8 a.m.  The test is only offered once per year.
