AP U.S. History

AP U.S. History is a course designed for the student who accepts the challenge of an Advanced class in American History. Students will be expected to master all of the SOL objectives for Virginia and U.S. History. In addition, analytical writing will be required, both in essays developed within the framework of the class and in papers developed as a result of research assignments. Students are expected to take the accompanying AP Exam, which may qualify them for advanced standing in college and/or college credit. This course has an associated Standards of Learning (SOL) test. Students will participate in these tests only when they have not yet earned sufficient credit for graduation and/or satisfied federal testing requirements.
