curriculum note
This video teaches the pre-2027 AP World History: Modern short-answer format. Starting in May 2027, all three SAQs include source material and all three are required — there is no longer a choice between the final two questions. Course content is unchanged, but the SAQ strategy described here should be checked against the current exam format.
