How self-review works
1 · Read
Look for author perspective, date, historical context and the development shown by the source.
2 · Write
Complete A, B and C for each source. Use precise historical evidence and explain why it matters.
3 · Review
Review reference points and check your own writing. We do not produce an AP score or claim official College Board affiliation.
Source authenticity and practice boundaries
All question prompts, teaching summaries and diagrams are original instructional material. Text sources marked as reconstructions are not archival quotations and should not be mistaken for historical artifacts. The practice follows the three source-type categories of the 2027 exam but is not an official practice exam.
