Official Course Overview
The College Board describes the APUSH course as follows:

The AP program in United States History is designed to provide students with the analytic skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in United States history. The program prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college courses. Students should learn to assess historical materials, their relevance to a given interpretive problem, their reliability, their importance, and to weigh the evidence and interpretations presented in historical scholarship. An AP United States History course should thus develop the skills necessary to arrive at conclusions on the basis of informed judgment and to present reasons and evidence clearly and persuasively in essay format.

All St. Paul's students enrolled in AP classes are required to take the National AP Exam for that subject. Second semester grades will be an average of third and fourth quarter and no St. Paul's exam will be given for the course.
