AP Hero Flash Cards are based on the 2016 AP US History Test. The AP US History Exam now asks students not just to memorize historical terms but also to apply historical terms to different themes when writing essays. To better prepare you for the AP Exam, AP Hero Flash Cards are organized into the official AP US History Themes. They are not just simple term to definition flash cards but are based on AP level critical thinking questions with answers showing connections between multiple historical terms. The method we use will better prepare you for the Short Answer Question, the Long Answer Question and the DBQ leading you toward getting a 5 on the AP US History Exam!
