<p>I never mentioned that you had to do everything exactly (its not humanly possible, some of the advice here doesn’t have to be applied linearly, not to mention that I’ve completely dismissed being nit picky with details. That’s why I made different posts for different learners. The ultimate point is that you’re supposed to do well in your class and isolate and overcome your key weaknesses (be it with specific time periods, essay writing, etc). If you can review by reading that’s fine (I actually did that for the ap world exam). If you’re not particularly strong with vocab and you’ll have to review it, that’s fine too. In fact, all I really did was skim through the chapters I understood and take notes/vocab on chapters I was weakest on.</p>
