AP World History Test Bank (Stimulus-Style) for Periods 1-2

This test bank includes twelve original sets of multiple-choice questions, which are written in the new stimulus-style came into use on the 2017 AP World History test. Each set includes a short primary- or secondary- source excerpt, and 2-5 questions over the excerpt. The bank includes a total of 30 questions.

The questions cover AP World History Periods 1 & 2 (up to 600 CE) and are related to the Paleolithic Era, Neolithic Revolution, Ancient Civilizations, and Classical Civilizations and are aligned to the 2017 College Board Curriculum Framework and historical thinking skills. Please note that they are NOT explicitly aligned to the most current iteration of the AP World History CED; however, I am continuing to offer the questions as some may find they are still relevant to the course.

Stimuli for the questions in the bank include excerpts from:

*map of the Bering Strait (50,000 years ago)

*description of the Neolithic Revolution (secondary source)

*map of the spread of agriculture (10,000-2,000 BCE)

*Code of the Hittites (1650 BCE) & Code of the Assyrians (1075 BCE)

*Assurnasirpal II, Assyrian king (800s BCE)

*Analects (5th century BCE) & Laozi (3rd century BCE)

*Herodotus (440 BCE)

*Pericles, Funeral Oration (431 BCE) & Plato, ‘the Republic’ (380 BCE)

*map of Afro-Eurasian trade (1st-3rd centuries CE)

*the Law of Manu (200 CE)

*petition to the Emperor Philip (246 CE) & Jordanus, ‘History of the Goths’ (551 CE)
