Mastering the Essay: Advanced Writing and Historical Thinking Skills for AP* European History

On the redesigned AP European History exam, skills matter much more than memorized content. Written responses account for 60% of your final score. A new style of multiple-choice question requires you to quickly and correctly analyze historical documents. Mastering the Essay will equip you with ALL of the tools you need to move confidently through your AP Euro course, and earn a 5 on the exam in May.
