AP World History Short-Answer Question on English Colonization

👋 Welcome to the AP World Unit 6 SAQ (English Colonization). These are shorter questions, but you'll still want to grab some paper and a pencil, or open up a blank page on your computer. 

⚠️ (Unfortunately, we don't have an Answers Guide for this question, but it can give you an idea of how an SAQ for Unit 6 might look on the exam.)

⏱ The AP World exam has a mixture of free-response questions and allotted times. For these types of questions, there will be 3 SAQs, and you will be given 40 minutes to complete the SAQ section. (This means you should give yourself ~13 minutes to go through each practice SAQ.)

  • 🤔 Need a quick refresher of the unit as a whole? Check out the Unit 6 Overview.
  • 😩 Getting stumped halfway through answering? Look through all of the available Unit 6 Resources.
  • 🤝 Prefer to study with other students working on the same topic? Join a group in Hours.
