What your students practice

The AP U.S. History Exam is a fully digital, 3 hour 15 minute exam from the College Board. Section I has 55 multiple-choice questions in 55 minutes (40% of the score), usually in sets of three or four that share a primary or secondary source, plus 3 short-answer questions in 40 minutes (20%). Section II has a document-based question in 60 minutes (25%) and a long essay in 40 minutes (15%). The course runs from 1491 to the present in nine periods; Periods 3 to 8 are each 10% to 17% of the multiple-choice section. Scores are reported from 1 to 5, and wrong answers are not penalized.

Tigertest's practice follows the College Board AP U.S. History Course and Exam Description (effective fall 2026) and AP Central exam page. Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

  • Period 3: 1754-1800
  • Period 4: 1800-1848
  • Period 5: 1844-1877
  • Period 6: 1865-1898
  • Period 7: 1890-1945
  • Periods 8 and 9: 1945-present

Questions teachers ask

Is the AP US History class free?

Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.

Do my students need accounts?

No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.

What do I see as the teacher?

Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the AP US History topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.

Can I use my own questions too?

Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
