<p>I am taking the Ap wrld hst test in may. I just bought princenton review book, and i have been reviewing the chapters that we have done. Any other advice on how to study for this test.</p>
<p>you could look at the past free response questions on collegeboard.com.</p>
<p>Send me a PM, and I’ll send you my email, when I get to it. Then send me an email (or two, or three) and ask me to type up my old AP teacher’s killer review notes. I know it sounds rather convoluted, but that’s seriously the only way I’ll remember to do it. Soooo busy… </p>
<p>The notes go by the 5 time periods, covering everything by region. I also have thematic notes, by time period. So what’s happening politically, technologically, with women, etc, etc, for each time period.</p>

<p>It helped me. <em>shrugs</em></p>
<p>Go through the review book and use your text book if you still have it. Take notes on each chapter, and make sure you address everything. My class used the acronym PERSIA-G political, economic, religious, social, Intellect (technology), Arts, Gender Roles.</p>
<p>Well, I’m taking AP World right now, and I can send you chapter outlines up to 17. They’re great for studying.</p>

<pre><code> Elorax i dont understand what you wrote.

<p>… anyone?</p>
<p>I was attempting to avoid posting my (actual) email in a public forum. It gets spambotted, and sometimes you get weirdos. Anyway. </p>

<p>Send me an email. I really only remember to do stuff if I get notice by email. Writing it down sometimes works, but not quite as well as email. Put AP World in the subject line, so I’ll know what it’s about. It may take me a couple days/until the weekend to get back to you. </p>
<p>The notes are worth it.</p>
<p>ELorax, im going to bombard you with Spam!! MUAHAHA </p>
<p>but seriously, did anyone here get a 5 and self-study for world history?</p>
<p>I heard its realy difficult to self study world history because you are basicaly covering a wide array of time periods</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s about 10,000 years of history for the entire world-pretty crazy :P</p>
<p>I took it last year, but I didn’t find Princeton Review to help a great great deal.</p>
<p>I did like the PERSIAs (we didn’t have G, is it for Geography or someting?) quite useful for a quick synopsis of a civilization</p>
<p>My teacher was crazy for index cards. Different colors for different types of info (dates, people, etc…). They really helped the most :)</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Kiseriam: I got a five on last year’s test. The best advice I can give you is to pay attention to trends in history, and to parallels between similar historic events in different cultures. WH is such a diverse and broad field that it is impossible to test a student’s knowledge without taking these two elements into consideration. If you have a good grasp of these concepts, then you should do well on the test.</p>
<p>Of course, sometimes it is the details that can lift a two to a three, a four to a five. For instance, on last year’s exam there was an essay question in which the students were directed to compare revolutions in various countries. One of the options was the Russian Revolution; presumably, a large percentage of the test-taking population assumed that this implied the Bolshevik Revolution; a careful reading of the question and the dates involved, however, showed that the event was in fact the revolution that established Kerensky’s provisional government. Little nuances like these can be extremely important as well. But they don’t mean anything without a good knowledge of historical trends and cross-cultural comparisons. Good luck on your AP test.</p>
<p>hey, ELorax, were you in Wolfinger’s class at FHS last year?</p>
