AP World History: Modern

This year’s AP History exams are all based on a single modified document-based question. Students can learn how to attack these types of questions to play to their strengths and to maximize points. Two of these points come from sourcing analysis, a difficult but doable skill. Practice is the key! All this, plus plenty of time for questions on content.
