Introducing an AP US History Test Question Bank focused on the 1950s to the 1980s time period. This multiple choice assessment reviews key content knowledge to help students prepare for the AP exam. With 77 multiple-choice questions, this resource allows students to test their content knowledge on post-WWII America. An answer key is included to support self-assessment. Educators also receive a passcode to assign an auto-grading version online. The online version includes three apps - a quiz, flashcards, and an adaptive "tutor" that practices missed questions. This content can be used flexibly for whole class instruction, small groups, homework, or individual review. The multiple choice format lets students work on content knowledge separately from the skill of interpreting documents. Reviewing this era through targeted questions is an excellent way for students to identify gaps prior to the exam. With the answer key and online features, this 1950s to 1980s test bank supports student learning in a meaningful way. Both teachers and students receive useful data to inform teaching and further study.
