Start testHow these AP U.S. History practice tests match the real exam
The real AP United States History Exam has 60 questions and a 195-minute time limit. Question types: Section I: 55 multiple-choice questions (4 options) in sets of usually 3–4 built on primary and secondary texts, images, charts and maps, plus 3 required short-answer questions. Section II: one document-based question (7 documents) and one required long essay question. Each practice test here uses the same question formats, so you get used to how AP U.S. History questions are asked before test day.
The tests draw on every AP U.S. History content area, weighted like the official outline:
- Period 1: 1491-1607 (about 5% of the exam)
- Period 2: 1607-1754 (about 6% of the exam)
- Period 3: 1754-1800 (about 14% of the exam)
- Period 4: 1800-1848 (about 14% of the exam)
- Period 5: 1844-1877 (about 14% of the exam)
- Period 6: 1865-1898 (about 14% of the exam)
- Period 7: 1890-1945 (about 14% of the exam)
- Period 8: 1945-1980 (about 14% of the exam)
- Period 9: 1980-Present (about 5% of the exam)
Use tutor mode to see the explanation after each answer, or timed mode to practise at real exam pace. Every answer comes with an explanation of why it is right and why the other options are wrong.
