As you would any other type of essay.
depends? whats the essay?
There are 80 multiple choice questions, 2 FRQ's(fact based questions), and 1 DBQ(document question.) If you are taking the APUSH Exam then I wish you the best of luck! :)
There are 80-multiple choice questions on the APUSH exam in which you have 55 minutes to complete (0.69 minutes per question). There is also 2 FRQ's (Free-Response Questions) and 1 DBQ (Document-Based Question) in which you have 130 minutes to complete including the mandatory 15 minute pre-reading section.
The APUSH DBQs are different from the AP World History DBQs in that the APUSH DBQs require more outside information, while the APWH DBQs are based on documentary information.

all of the above *if this question is for APUSH
AP European History is very difficult. Most of the problems you will have will be with the FRQ and DBQ. Many will fail the AP European History Exam.
If you're asking why the exam is so difficult: It consists of a multiple choice section, which students generally consider to be easy, and a free response/essay section. The student is given 2 hours and 10 minutes to write three essays: 2 FRQs (Free Response Question), and 1 DBQ (Document Based Question). Dividing up the time effectively would give 35 minutes for each FRQ and 1 hour for the DBQ. The DBQ requires the reading of around 8 primary source documents, which the student must reference in the essay. These essays must have a clear thesis and include in-depth analysis to score high. For example, a topic might read, "Assess the extent to which the foreign and domestic policies of Nixon's administration were effective." The limited time and pressure adds to the difficulty. If you're asking why the class is difficult: The class by itself depends on the teacher. If you have a tough teacher, he will do timed in-class essays often and grade without lenience--exactly as the AP readers would. The quantity of homework would be very large.
hello, this is a person who took US History AP exam this year. I think i got 4 for DBQ and 3 for both FRQs... I skipped about 20 questions in MC. If there's a curve for the MC scores, how many MC questions should i get right to pass the exam?
Yes there are question papers for the exam. You will be given one if and when you sit the exam.
