^^ The AP exam IS about the big picture/themes. My APUSH teacher (who is amazing) rarely tests us on exact facts and figures, but rather on thematic ideas and the interconnection of events.

If you know the general theme of the time period (ie. Great Depression during the '30s), certain facts just pop out and usually the most important ones are the ones tested on the test, the ones you absolutely can’t forget (unless you don’t give a crap).
