“I took AP World this year as a sophomore and got a 5 on the AP. I did pretty well in the class but I only really studied the day before the exam. To study, I just watched the videos on getafive.com–that site is a lifesaver and it’s free; it was really informative, easy to watch and take notes on, and it made the essays fairly easy to write. Also, there are some really great cram packets that divide the history into the periods that CB uses, so those were also helpful; since the AP doesn’t test on exact dates, just familiarize yourself with what happened in each of the six periods of time. One teacher’s website was also really helpful (http://www.teacheroz.com/apexamreview.html) as it had period reviews, cram packets, and information under APWH BUZZ WORDS + CHARTS BY REGIONS AND THEMES which are great for prepping for the essays. If you read through the course description put out by CB (https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/ap/ap-world-history-course-and-exam-description.pdf) it’ll give you a general idea of what concepts you should be studying. But honestly, if you pay attention to the videos on getafive, read through some review packets (familiarizing yourself with what happened in each period of history + making connections to the past and what parallels what as you do so), you’re pretty much guaranteed a 5.”
