I've been studying for the AP US History exam and I want to make sure I'm prepared. How many Long Essay Questions (LEQs) will I have to answer on test day?
On the AP US History (APUSH) exam, you will need to answer one Long Essay Question (LEQ) out of a choice of three. The LEQ is designed to assess your ability to analyze and synthesize historical data, evaluate different perspectives, and construct a clear and coherent written argument. Remember that this section accounts for 15% of your total exam score, so be sure to allocate enough time (suggested 40 minutes) to plan and write your essay. Good luck with your exam preparation!
