AP US History (APUSH) covers more than 500 years of American history, from the diverse civilizations of the pre-Columbian Americas in 1491 to the present day. The course traces the political, economic, social, and cultural developments that shaped the United States: colonization and contact, revolution and the founding, expansion and civil war, industrialization, world wars, the civil rights movement, and contemporary America.
The College Board organizes the content into 9 periods, each weighted differently on the exam. Periods 3 through 8 are the most heavily tested (10–17% each), while Periods 1, 2, and 9 are lighter (4–8% each). The exam itself includes multiple-choice questions, short-answer questions (SAQs), a document-based question (DBQ), and a long essay question (LEQ).
Every page on this site is aligned to the College Board's official AP US History curriculum and completely free. Use what works for your study style: flashcards if you're an active recall learner, the cheat sheet if you want a one-page overview, podcasts for studying on the go, or practice questions to test yourself before the exam.
