These specific subjects shouldn't be solely about memorization, rather they should teach kids how to link that information together to solve problems (or in the case of history, avoid them in the future).

Thats the issue. The point of an AP test shouldn't be that the problems are difficult. But currently thats what it's all about. They're just trying to test that kids are capable of surviving a "rigorous academic curriculum".
