This course is for high school students who are interested in a first year university level course in European history.
The course surveys European history from between 1450 to the present,[1] focusing on religious, social, economic, and political themes.
The AP European History course covers historical events and processes across nine different units.
Approximately half of the multiple-choice questions cover the period from 1450 to the French Revolution and Napoleonic era, and half cover the period from the French Revolution and Napoleonic era to the present, evenly divided between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
In recent years and present, the multiple choice portion is Stimulus Based, meaning the students are given an excerpt of a speech or writing, photograph, or painting, to analyze and answer questions and/or give presentations on the given info.
