So we're about halfway through the school year, and the AP test is closing in. I have an awful teacher and I'm worried that my class is behind. So I'm wondering- what time period are you all studying right now? Also, what textbook do you use? Let's compare notes:)
My class is at Napoleon
We're using Western Society Since 1300 (mckay/hill/buckley)

We just covered the Scientific Revolution/Enlightenment
We use Merriman, Sherman, Lee, and Perry. I recommend Perry for primary sources... It's a great resource for anyone...
My teacher is crazy in a good way.. she has EVERYTHING memorized... we just tell her what we were talking about and she goes without ever looking at anything... What do ya'll think of AP Euro so far? I loved AP American History... got A's and a 5 on the test, but i got a B in Euro even though I worked 10 times as hard as last year (literally!)
Then again, we go at an insane speed and have 3 full weeks of review before the test. In a way, I wish that there were more lectures, (as in, any at all) but since there are not, I am having to do alot of self-study outside of school.
Although I'm not worried, (because the AP Euro test is more general than the APUS test) I think it is important to prepare throughout the year-- not a couple weeks right before the test.
Does anyone know any good films to review major chunks of European History? (At least 50 years at a time..)
For homework I still have to finish Candide-I hate it soooooooooo much!! Volitaire is just so pompous!!!! Did anyone else here have to read Candide?
But did anyone have to read Candide for AP Euro?-sorry if this takes away from the orginial thread.
vegangirl-don't worry about the exam, for your class ahead of some the others here-including mine-now I am starting to worry!!!!!!
Also, at least this the way it is at my school, AP Euro is considered harder than AP Uniteed States History.Just get a review book and start working on it now and I bet you will do fine!!!!!!!
I am using-A history of Western Society since 1300 by McKay, Hill and Buckler
My Euro course is taught by the headmaster... who broke his leg skiing and will be out for a week! Yikes!
My personal favorite (and the one that is living on the back of my iPod)-- "Illusion is the first of all pleasures."
