<p>I’m taking AP Euro next year, and I have some questions:
- People keep telling me to get the cliffsnotes guide. Are they saying to get the guide to study for the class or the AP Test?
- How long before the test should you study for the test?
- How hard is the class?
- How much homework on average?
- Any overall tips?</p>
<p>1) I’d personally recommend Modern European History for your review book, not Cliff Notes.
It would help you (either one you get) for both the class and the AP test.</p>
<p>2) Study steadily throughout the year. Don;t go crazy, but make sure you are aware of and remember key concepts in European history. Around the beginning of April is when I started to hardcore study for the test.</p>
<p>3) Depends. Generally, Euro classes have lots of homework in the form of note-taking.</p>
<p>4) I had 2 hours a night, but that’s because we had to take notes on 16 pages of reading a night.</p>
<p>5) Just keep up with the work - make it a priority. You DON’T want to fall behind.</p>
<p>I go to online school so I am not really the person to ask. The amount of work I have is kinda hard to me. In one week 20 pages of reading plus multiple online packets to read, a DBQ, an activity (usually about 5 pages long), Read textbook pick 10 important people write a 1 paragraph summary on them and answer the review Q’s (there are usually six of them and the answers are 1 page minimum, a online discussion which is mega informative but hard, plus a few random bit here and there.</p>
