AP Exams are given each year in May. Students who earn a qualifying score on an AP Exam are typically eligible, in college, to receive credit, placement into advanced courses, or both. Every aspect of AP course and exam development is the result of collaboration between AP teachers and college faculty. They work together to develop AP courses and exams, set scoring standards, and score the exams. College faculty review every AP teacher’s course syllabus.  \nThe AP Program offers three history courses: AP European History, AP United States History, and AP World History: Modern. All three history courses focus on the development of historical thinking while learning required course content. Themes foster deep analysis by making connections and comparisons across different topics within the course. Each AP History course corresponds to a typical introductory college history course.  \nIn AP World History: Modern, students investigate significant events, individuals, developments, and processes from 1200 to the present. Students develop and use the same skills, practices, and methods employed by historians: analyzing primary and secondary sources; developing historical arguments; making historical connections; and utilizing reasoning about comparison, causation, and continuity and change over time. The course provides six themes that students explore throughout the course in order to make connections among historical developments in different times and places: humans and the environment; cultural developments and interactions; governance; economic systems; social interactions and organization; and technology and innovation.  \nRECOMMENDED PREREQUISITES  \nThere are no prerequisites for AP World History: Modern. Students should be able to read a college-level textbook and write grammatically correct, complete sentences.  \n􀂃 The course content is organized into commonly taught units of study that provide a suggested sequence for the course. These units comprise the content and conceptual understandings that colleges and universities typically expect students to master to qualify for college credit and/or placement. This content is grounded in themes, which are cross-cutting concepts that build conceptual understanding and spiral throughout the course:  \n􀂃 Unit 1: The Global Tapestry  \n􀂃 Unit 2: Networks of Exchange  \n􀂃 Unit 3: Land-Based Empires  \n􀂃 Unit 4: Transoceanic Interconnections  \n􀂃 Unit 5: Revolutions  \n􀂃 Unit 6: Consequences of Industrialization  \n􀂃 Unit 7: Global Conflict  \n􀂃 Unit 8: Cold War and Decolonization  \n􀂃 Unit 9: Globalization  \nThe AP historical thinking skills describe what students should be able to do while exploring course concepts. The list that follows presents these skills, which students should develop during the AP World History:  \nModern course:  \n􀂃 Developments and Processes: Identify and explain historical concepts, developments, and processes.  \n􀂃 Sourcing and Situation: Analyze a source’s point of view, purpose, historical situation, and audience, including how these may affect its usefulness.  \n􀂃 Claims and Evidence in Sources: Identify, describe, and evaluate claims and evidence in primary and secondary sources.  \n􀂃 Contextualization: Explain how a historical development or process is situated within a broader historical context.  \n􀂃 Making Connections: Identify and explain patterns, similarities, differences, and relationships among historical developments and processes.  \n􀂃 Argumentation: Make historically defensible claims and support arguments using specific and relevant evidence, using historical reasoning to explain relationships and develop complex arguments.  \nAP World History: Modern Exam Structure  \nAP WORLD HISTORY: MODERN","cbCailuSk4LELYMQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailuSk4LELYMQ","pdf",282587,"English","# About the Advanced Placement Program\n## AP History courses and historical thinking focus\n# AP World History: Modern course scope\n## Six themes across the course\n# Recommended prerequisites\n## Reading and writing expectations\n# Course units of study\n## Unit 1: The Global Tapestry\n## Unit 2: Networks of Exchange\n## Unit 3: Land-Based Empires\n## Unit 4: Transoceanic Interconnections\n## Unit 5: Revolutions\n## Unit 6: Consequences of Industrialization\n## Unit 7: Global Conflict\n## Unit 8: Cold War and Decolonization\n## Unit 9: Globalization\n# AP historical thinking skills\n## Developments and Processes\n## Sourcing and Situation\n## Claims and Evidence in Sources\n## Contextualization\n## Making Connections\n## Argumentation\n# AP World History: Modern Exam structure\n## Assessment overview and time\n## Format of assessment by section\n## Exam components","[{\"question\":\"What time length and question types are included in the AP World History: Modern exam?\",\"answer\":\"The exam lasts 3 hours and 15 minutes and requires 55 multiple-choice questions, 3 short-answer questions, 1 document-based question, and 1 long essay question.\"},{\"question\":\"Are there any prerequisites for taking AP World History: Modern?\",\"answer\":\"No prerequisites are required.
