JUST A LITTLE HUMOR TO RELIEVE PRE-TEST JITTERS! :)
______________________________________________________
Here's important information regarding the exam:

The exam is 3 hours and 5 minutes in length and consists of two sections: a 55-minute

multiple-choice section and a 130-minute free-response section. The free-response

section begins with a mandatory 15-minute reading period. Students are advised to

spend most of the 15 minutes analyzing the documents and planning their answer to

the document-based essay question (DBQ) in Part A. Suggested writing time for the

DBQ is 45 minutes.

Parts B and C each include two standard essay questions that, with the DBQ, cover

the period from the first European explorations of the Americas to the present.

Students are required to answer one essay question in each part in a total of 70

minutes. For each of the essay questions students choose to answer in Parts B and C,

it is suggested they spend 5 minutes planning and 30 minutes writing.

Both the multiple-choice and the free-response sections cover the period from the

first European explorations of the Americas to the present, although a majority of

questions are on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
