What is the best AP book for World History?

Friday, April 24th, 2009
AmO asked:


What is the best AP study guide to use in conjunction with my textbook, “Traditions and Encounters”? The two main books people seem to recommend most are Barron’s and Princeton Review. Of those two, which do you prefer/like best to use? I’m also currently taking the AP World History class at school also. Thanks for your help.

Studying tips for a final exam in world history?

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
yahooyahooyahoo asked:


I have world history final exam on tuesday, and its about 400 pages of information, and i’ve been through about 1/5 of it so far, taking notes..

On the study guide, there are only one or two terms for each section. But my dad wants me to briefly read the whole book again, and then reread it, taking notes.

I only have today and monday, but i am going to study a lot.

What do you think is the most efficient way of studying for this final exam?

How hard is AP World History in high school?

Friday, January 16th, 2009
just4ivaylo asked:


With my freshman year ending on Wednesday, I’m guessing that my grade in history will stay at an A.

I’m taking AP World sophmore year, and I’m just wondering how hard it’s going to be. Any tips?

Also, what’s the point of taking AP classes? Will colleges like University of Washington accept the credits from them?
