Earning a Four (4) on the AP World History Exam

Based on historical student performance, a score of four (4) on the AP World History test requires that a student earn at least 55% to 60% of all of the points on the exam. To achieve this students should increase their knowledge of the required historical developments in the World History framework, and they should practice and improve their historical reasoning skills, particularly Context, Continuity and Change (CCOT), and Comparison.
