最近老师也收到了很多同学的问题，比如因为停课，学校还没有把考纲的内容讲完，考试的时候遇到没学过的知识点怎么办?再比如考试时间从之前的3个多小时缩短到了45分钟的时间，那AP美国史会考什么题型呀?
1.考试形式的变化
“Traditional face-to-face exam administrations will not take place. Students will take a 45-minute online free-response exam at home.
Some students may want to take the exam sooner rather than later, while the content is still fresh. Other students may want more time to practice. For each AP subject, there will be 2 different testing dates.”
根据官方的信息今年的AP考试改为“在家进行。” 并且考试时间统一为45分钟，而考试题目的形式则变成了free-response题目。在这一点上所有的AP学科都是一样的，美国历史也不例外。
考试的另一个变化是考试日期：每一门科目都会有两场不同日期的考试，而AP美国史这门考试(以及其他的主要科目)
2. 考试内容的变化
根据之前官方给出的考试大纲，AP美国历史涉及1491至今的历史，共分为九个时间段：
