The World History Subject Test uses the chronological designations B.C.E. (before
Common Era) and C.E. (Common Era). These labels correspond to B.C. (before Christ)
and A.D. (anno Domini), which are used in some world history textbooks.
Questions on the World History Subject Test may be presented as separate items or
in sets based on quotes, maps, pictures, graphs or tables.
Please note that this test reflects what is commonly taught in high school. Due
to differences in high school classes, it’s likely that most students will find
questions on topics they’re not familiar with. This is nothing to worry about. You
do not have to get every question correct to receive the highest score (800) for
the test. Many students do well despite not having studied every topic covered.
