What's on the AP Art History Exam

  • Global Prehistory
  • Ancient Mediterranean
  • Early Europe and Colonial Americas
  • Later Europe and Americas
  • Indigenous Americas
  • Africa
  • West and Central Asia
  • South, East, and Southeast Asia
  • The Pacific
  • Global Contemporary

Why it's hard

The 250 required works each carry an artist, date, medium, location, and cultural context. The FRQ also asks you to bring in works beyond the 250 — which means recognition isn't enough.

How Fennie helps

Fennie builds spaced-repetition flashcards on all 250 required works (with image prompts), and generates the comparison FRQs that ask you to pair a required work with a beyond-the-list one.

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need to know all 250 works?

Yes — the MCQ and most FRQs assume image recognition of any of them.

What's the 'beyond the 250' essay?

One FRQ asks you to discuss a work not on the required list. You pick the work and justify your choice. Most students prepare 3-4 in advance.

Can Fennie show images?

Yes — Fennie can render images for flashcards and quiz you on visual identification.
