<p>I’m in the class now, our last test was on the Rennaissance and we’re finishing mannerism.</p>
<p>Any recommendations on whether or not to take the AP test? i’ve heard the test is supposed to be really difficult…</p>
<p>If I were to take the test, what are some good ways to study (prep books, etc.)?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Edit: Also, no one in my school has gotten a 5. In the past, most people that have taken the class at my school have gotten 4’s, and the rest have gotten 3’s.</p>
<p>I would take it if I were you. Barrons / REA are good prep books.</p>
<p>primitivefuture, did you take it? if so, did you do well?</p>
<p>did you take the class in school or did you self-study?
I’m hesitant to take it just because no one in my school has gotten a 5. In the past, most people that have taken the class at my school have gotten 4’s, and the rest have gotten 3’s.</p>
<p>You guys are only on Mannerism :(. Wow, that’s really behind as the test is just two months away. You should be around Romanticism now. </p>
<p>I found the test rather easy. As long as you understand all the major periods of art and the major artists in them, you should do fine. </p>
<p>There aren’t any decent study guides for the AP Art History test. I would recommend ordering an old AP AH test from the collegeboard store to see how you do (on the periods you have already studied). Decide from that.</p>
<p>Yeah i agree the test is somewhat hard. But reading the study guide and taking loads of practice tests will certainly help. I prepared for the exam through an online course (apexvs.com ). It is really helpful. But for colleges, self - study is REALLY impressive.</p>
<p>I don’t think there is much point to that class. If you look up the AP credit policies at most universities, Art is not accepted most of the time.</p>
