curriculum note
This video was recorded during the 2020 COVID exam cycle and references an outdated modified exam format: a 45-minute open-note DBQ with only 5 documents, covering only Units 3–7, with a 10-point rubric. The current APUSH exam format, structure, and DBQ rubric are different — please refer to current College Board materials.
