1. 1. Which development most directly resulted from the Columbian Exchange in the 1500s?

   • A. The rapid growth of Native American populations in the Caribbean
   • B. The end of European demand for New World crops
   • C. The death of large numbers of Native Americans from diseases such as smallpox
   • D. The spread of horses and cattle from the Americas to Europe
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: C. The death of large numbers of Native Americans from diseases such as smallpox

   Europeans brought diseases such as smallpox and measles to which Native Americans had no immunity, and epidemics killed a large share of the population in many regions. The exchange ran in both directions, with crops like maize and potatoes going to Europe, but horses, cattle and pigs went from Europe to the Americas, not the other way around.

2. 2. Under the mercantilist system of the 1600s and 1700s, what role did Britain expect its North American colonies to play?

   • A. Trade freely with any nation that offered the best prices
   • B. Supply raw materials to Britain and buy British manufactured goods
   • C. Build up their own manufacturing to compete with British industry
   • D. Pay no taxes in exchange for military protection
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. Supply raw materials to Britain and buy British manufactured goods

   Mercantilism held that a nation grows rich by exporting more than it imports, and colonies existed to serve that goal. The Navigation Acts required many colonial goods to be shipped to Britain on British or colonial ships. Loose enforcement for much of the early 1700s, often called salutary neglect, is part of why tighter enforcement after 1763 caused such resentment.

3. 3. "It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796. Washington's advice was most directly a response to which context?

   • A. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal over South America
   • B. American plans to annex Canada
   • C. Pressure from Native American nations to sign defensive alliances
   • D. Conflict between Britain and revolutionary France and its divisive effect on American politics
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: D. Conflict between Britain and revolutionary France and its divisive effect on American politics

   By 1796 the wars that followed the French Revolution had split Americans, with Jeffersonian Republicans sympathetic to France and Federalists leaning toward Britain. Washington had already issued the Proclamation of Neutrality in 1793. His farewell warning against permanent alliances and party spirit shaped American foreign policy for more than a century.

4. 4. Which were weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation?

   Vælg alle, der passer.

   • A. Congress could not levy taxes and had to request money from the states.
   • B. The president held too much power over Congress.
   • C. Congress had no power to regulate trade between the states.
   • D. Amending the Articles required the agreement of all thirteen states.
   • E. A national supreme court overruled state laws too often.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. Congress could not levy taxes and had to request money from the states., C. Congress had no power to regulate trade between the states., D. Amending the Articles required the agreement of all thirteen states.

   The Articles created a deliberately weak central government with no executive and no national court system, so the two distractors describe problems it could not have had. Without the power to tax or regulate commerce, Congress could not pay its debts or settle trade disputes between states, and Shays' Rebellion in 1786 to 1787 convinced many leaders that a stronger constitution was needed.

5. 5. "The American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers." President James Monroe, message to Congress, 1823. This statement most directly reflected which goal?

   • A. Limiting European influence in the Western Hemisphere as Latin American nations won independence
   • B. Forming a military alliance with Britain to defend Latin America
   • C. Expanding American colonies in Africa and Asia
   • D. Ending American trade with European nations
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. Limiting European influence in the Western Hemisphere as Latin American nations won independence

   Several Latin American colonies had just broken away from Spain, and the United States wanted to keep European powers from reclaiming them or founding new colonies. The United States had little power to enforce the doctrine in 1823. It became much more important later, for example with the Roosevelt Corollary of 1904.

6. 6. Complete the sentence.

   Completed in 1825, the _____ Canal linked the Great Lakes to the Hudson River and New York City, cutting shipping costs and speeding the market revolution.

   Muligheder for felt 1: Chesapeake and Ohio, Erie, Panama, Suez

   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: Erie

   The Erie Canal made it far cheaper to ship farm goods from the Great Lakes region east and manufactured goods west, and it helped make New York City the country's leading port. Together with turnpikes, steamboats and later railroads, it tied the Northeast and the Old Northwest together economically, a link that mattered in the sectional politics of the 1850s.

7. 7. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 increased sectional tension mainly because it

   • A. banned slavery in all western territories
   • B. admitted California as a free state
   • C. let settlers vote on slavery in territories north of the Missouri Compromise line
   • D. required Northern states to abolish their personal liberty laws
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: C. let settlers vote on slavery in territories north of the Missouri Compromise line

   By applying popular sovereignty to Kansas and Nebraska, the act effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise line, which had kept slavery out of that region since 1820. Settlers on both sides rushed into Kansas and violence followed. The anger it caused in the North helped found the Republican Party.

8. 8. Which constitutional amendments were ratified during Reconstruction?

   Vælg alle, der passer.

   • A. The 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery
   • B. The 14th Amendment, defining citizenship and guaranteeing equal protection of the laws
   • C. The 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote
   • D. The 15th Amendment, barring denial of the vote on account of race
   • E. The 16th Amendment, allowing a federal income tax
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. The 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery, B. The 14th Amendment, defining citizenship and guaranteeing equal protection of the laws, D. The 15th Amendment, barring denial of the vote on account of race

   The 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments were ratified between 1865 and 1870. The 16th and 19th came much later, in 1913 and 1920, during the Progressive Era. After Reconstruction ended in 1877, Southern states used poll taxes, literacy tests and violence to get around the 15th Amendment for decades.

9. 9. "The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward, explain American development." Frederick Jackson Turner, 1893. Which statement best describes Turner's argument?

   • A. Westward expansion did little to shape American society.
   • B. The frontier experience shaped American democracy and individualism.
   • C. Industrial cities, not the frontier, defined the American character.
   • D. Native American nations played the central role in western development.
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. The frontier experience shaped American democracy and individualism.

   Turner argued that the frontier made Americans self-reliant and democratic, and he presented his thesis just after the 1890 census suggested that the frontier was closed. This is a secondary source, an interpretation. Later historians criticized it for leaving out Native Americans, women and the role of the federal government, and that kind of comparison is exactly what source-based questions test.

10. 10. Complete the sentence.

    Passed in 1890, the _____ Act was the first federal law aimed at monopolies and trusts, although courts at first used it more often against labor unions than against big business.

    Muligheder for felt 1: Dawes, Interstate Commerce, Pendleton, Sherman Antitrust

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: Sherman Antitrust

    The Sherman Antitrust Act banned combinations in restraint of trade, but its vague wording left the courts to define it. The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 regulated railroads, the Pendleton Act of 1883 created a merit-based civil service, and the Dawes Act of 1887 broke up tribal land into individual allotments.

11. 11. Progressive reformers in the early 1900s most often sought to

    • A. return the economy to small-scale farming
    • B. end all immigration to the United States
    • C. reduce the role of government in the economy
    • D. use government to address problems created by industrialization and urban growth
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: D. use government to address problems created by industrialization and urban growth

    Progressives pushed for food and drug safety laws, limits on child labor, trust busting, and political reforms such as the direct election of senators. Many were middle-class and drew on the work of muckraking journalists. The movement had blind spots, and many Progressives supported segregation or immigration restriction, which is a frequent comparison point on the exam.

12. 12. Which of these were created during the New Deal of the 1930s?

    Vælg alle, der passer.

    • A. Medicare
    • B. The Social Security Act
    • C. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
    • D. The Interstate Highway System
    • E. The Wagner Act, protecting workers' right to organize unions
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. The Social Security Act, C. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), E. The Wagner Act, protecting workers' right to organize unions

    The FDIC was created in 1933 to stop bank runs, and the Social Security Act and the Wagner Act both passed in 1935. Medicare came in 1965 as part of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society, and the Interstate Highway System was authorized in 1956 under Eisenhower. Mixing up the New Deal and the Great Society is a common multiple-choice trap.

13. 13. "I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures." President Harry Truman, 1947. This statement was most directly a response to

    • A. fears that communism would spread to Greece and Turkey after World War II
    • B. the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
    • C. the end of the Korean War
    • D. the collapse of the Soviet Union
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: A. fears that communism would spread to Greece and Turkey after World War II

    Truman asked Congress for aid to Greece and Turkey, where he feared Soviet-backed pressure, and the Truman Doctrine became the basis of containment. The Marshall Plan, NATO and later the Korean War all followed from that policy. Pearl Harbor came before it, and the other two events came long after.

14. 14. Complete the sentence.

    In Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court ruled that segregated public schools were unconstitutional, rejecting the separate but equal doctrine of _____.

    Muligheder for felt 1: Dred Scott v. Sandford, Marbury v. Madison, Plessy v. Ferguson, Roe v. Wade

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: Plessy v. Ferguson

    Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 had upheld segregation as long as facilities were supposedly equal. Brown overturned that reasoning for public schools, but many Southern states resisted, which led to confrontations such as Little Rock in 1957 and kept the civil rights movement pressing for federal action.

15. 15. "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." President Ronald Reagan, Inaugural Address, 1981. This statement best reflects which development?

    • A. Growing support for expanding Great Society programs
    • B. A demand for more federal regulation of business
    • C. The rise of a conservative movement that sought to cut taxes, regulation and the size of the federal government
    • D. A shift toward isolationism in foreign policy
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: C. The rise of a conservative movement that sought to cut taxes, regulation and the size of the federal government

    Reagan won in 1980 amid inflation and high unemployment, backed by a coalition of fiscal conservatives, the religious right and voters disillusioned with liberal programs. He cut taxes and pursued deregulation, while defense spending rose and his foreign policy was anything but isolationist. Period 9 is only 4 to 6 percent of the exam, but this shift is a common reference point.

Sådan ser APUSH-prøven ud i 2027

AP U.S. History-prøven i maj 2027 er helt digital og tages i appen Bluebook. Section I begynder med 55 multiple choice-spørgsmål på 55 minutter, der tæller 40 procent af scoren, efterfulgt af 3 kortsvarsspørgsmål på 40 minutter, der tæller 20 procent. Section II består af ét dokumentbaseret spørgsmål (DBQ) bygget på 7 dokumenter, med 1 time anbefalet inklusive 15 minutters læsetid, der tæller 25 procent, og ét langt essay med 40 minutter anbefalet, der tæller 15 procent.

College Board har ændret kortsvarsspørgsmålene og det lange essay fra og med prøven i maj 2027. Nu svarer du på alle 3 kortsvarsspørgsmål, som hver bygger på en kilde og hver kommer fra en anden periode, og der er ét obligatorisk langt essay i stedet for et valg mellem opgaver. Pensum er ikke ændret. Bruger du ældre repetitionsbøger eller øveprøver, gælder rådene om multiple choice og DBQ stadig, men det format for de skriftlige opgaver, de beskriver, kan være forældet, så tjek prøvesiden på AP Central.

Multiple choice-spørgsmålene kommer i sæt på 3 eller 4, og hvert sæt bygger på en kilde: et dokument, en historikers fortolkning, et kort, en graf eller et billede. Derfor er det ikke nok at kunne årstal udenad. Du skal læse et kort uddrag, placere det i sin periode og koble det til en årsag, en virkning eller en sammenligning.

De ni perioder, og sådan bruger du smagsprøven

Faget er delt op i ni perioder, og de vægter ikke lige meget. Periode 1 (1491 til 1607) udgør 4 til 6 procent af prøven, og periode 2 (1607 til 1754) udgør 6 til 8 procent. Periode 3 til 8, fra 1754 til 1980, udgør hver 10 til 17 procent, og periode 9 (1980 til i dag) er nede på 4 til 6 procent igen. Kort sagt er strækningen fra revolutionen til slutningen af 1970'erne det meste af prøven, så den fortjener det meste af din læsetid.

Smagsprøven følger den vægtning, med de fleste spørgsmål i periode 3 til 8. Fem af de 15 tager udgangspunkt i en kilde. Læs kilden først ved dem, og stil tre spørgsmål, før du ser på svarmulighederne: hvornår blev det skrevet, hvem skrev det og til hvem, og hvad skete der på det tidspunkt. Det rigtige svar er som regel det, der passer til konteksten, ikke det, der gentager et ord fra uddraget.

Tag den i ét stræk, og læs så hver forklaring, også dem til de spørgsmål, du svarede rigtigt på. Et forkert svar peger på en periode, ikke kun på et enkelt faktum. Misser du spørgsmålene om Monroe-doktrinen og Truman-doktrinen, er emnet, du skal repetere, amerikansk udenrigspolitik over tid, som også er et almindeligt tema for det lange essay.
