<p>So I’m in the first AP World class in my school. I soon came to believe that the class was bs and the teacher sucked, so I did not try much my first semester. However, I have become really interested this semester and I want to start studying for the AP test. I bought a Barron’s review book, and I even started rereading the 20 chapters of first semester that I did not care for. Do you guys think I’m wasting my time by rereading the chapters. Should I just read straight from the review book? Is Barron’s really that good?</p>
<p>I did not retain information from the textbook very well - I loved the Kaplan book for World; I began reading it in its entirety about a month before the AP exam and I got a 5. </p>
