What the Exam Means by United States History
Captions available
The idea
The exam gives United States history thirteen to fifteen percent of its questions, from the colonial period to the early twenty-first century. This unit runs from the first peoples to eighteen seventy-seven.
In practice
Colonies, revolution, the early republic, the Civil War and Reconstruction, in that order.
Where people slip
The questions test recognition of events, dates and causes, not essays. Learn the chain, not the paragraph.
