Soo minutes, hours, etc?

I self-studied (got a 5), but I put in ~5 hours/week on average between reading the textbook and taking notes, reviewing reference materials, writing sample essays and reading relevant information from other sources. With a class I imagine it would be a bit less since I was learning the material on my own and you would have class time to do that, but I would still count on having a pretty heavy work load.

around 1 hour per day.

I put in around 1.5-2 hours daily during weekday, but that's partly because my teacher was a quasi-sadist and required that we scribble thorough notes on the margin of the book. On Sundays, my study day, I'd review what he had learned throughout the week and the time spent depended on how well I had grasped the information. I think it will really depend on how much exposure you've had to the material before. I took AP Euro after having taken two years of World History (and trust me, they covered more than AP World), and I had also done my fair share of historical committees about European events in Model United Nations, so at least general themes and such were not new to me. Some of my classmates did not have as much exposure and spent more time.

@Longstride: I wish I had your efficiency o_0

I read ~10 pages in the book everyday and study IDs so approx 30 minutes a day. Then on weekends we have essays which take an hour.
My teacher is so good in class not much is needed outside of his lecture
ALTHOUGH, he grades SO hard its almost impossible to get an A

um don't do it like me but
i did basically 0 studying throughout the year (we used a history of the modern world, which is one of the most boring textbooks in existence. it's written quite nicely but is clearly not meant for the high school student) except spending 15 minutes on coursenotes right before the chapter tests; we ended up falling really behind and not even getting to Hitler by AP test date. all we did in class were like 1 frq per month

crammed for Euro in the last week, say I did about 2/3 hours a day. Cliffsnotes is GREAT, I've heard PR is good too though I haven't used it. Used crash course (great for comparisons) The entire week I was sick but slept at like 12 every night cramming for Euro and APUSH (actually I facebooked a lot of that).

actual test was alright, though I felt I really screwed up the FRQ portion. came out with a 5

long story short: you can get away with a lot of sleep every night until AP week

I spend about an hour or two every other day. I suck at history, and I'm a slow reader :/ but we use a history of the modern world, which is dense and can get monotonous.

Yeah after being in the class for a month, on average it's 40 minutes a night

Honestly I studied a week before the exam but only got a 4.
If you pay attention and are genuinely interested in AP European History, I guarantee that you'll get nothing less than a 4.

2 hours a day. We had A LOT of notes for that class, which I felt may have been a tad overkill. Learned a lot from it though!
