I agree whole heartedly with seapanda. I love history, and a curve may have gone in my favor, but I got a 5 too. Like he, or she said, test yourself on the FRQs and DBQs. If you don’t have time for a complete essay, work on your thesis. Pay attention in class, and supplement your learnings with your review book. I had a great teacher, he was querky and made you love history, but he taught us from day 1 that it would be a struggle. Although I never used my review book or listened in class, I guess osmosis got me.

Study later periods, don’t worry about middle ages or medieval too much if you cover it. Get basic points, details when necessary, and make sure you can rock the bias POV, and analyzing documents on the DBQ. Time yourself so that you don’t run out of time for example, our teacher would give us 30 question tests with about 40 seconds a question, and get yourself in a mentality where you go hard on yourself and study. Then at the week of the AP exams, review a bit. Don’t go ham, just chill, catch up on some z’s, eat a good breakfast, don’t be nervous, and you’ll rock it.

Good luck!
