<p>“I said that we had an AP World History textbook”
Well I didn’t see that in the OP. Anyways, that’s the district/school’s problem, not the teacher (unless it is expected at your school that the teacher buy all the textbooks).
You can’t pass an AP test based on tons of information and facts without a good, relevant textbook.</p>
<p>Some of the classes at my school have a 10% (or worse) pass rate on the AP test. All of the information needed was covered in the required reading (I know because I passed those tests just doing the required reading). Of course, the people that didn’t pass - you guessed it - didn’t do the required reading.
At least we had relevant textbooks.</p>
