<p>im currently going through the APEH PR 06-7 edition and im having a hard time understanding/memorizing what i need to know for the AP test. Unlike AP psychology, APEH has a plethora of people, events, and concepts. </p>
<p>so far my approach has been skimming/reading the first topic. maybe i need to start paraphrasing things, notes, get more engaged in the text?</p>
<p>here's the problem:
a) i don't have the right mindset and am not focusing on the right things while studying. do i need to know all the people in the prep book etc?
b) sentence structure of the book can be somewhat to understand. (will try to break it down)</p>
<p>So im wondering if the AP test is like a fact recalling test and if anyone can give me advice to go about preparing for this test. Im aiming for a 4 to get college credit.</p>
<p>Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks! :)</p>
<p>No, the AP test is not a fact recalling test. Just make sure you can associate the famous people with the time period and the general theme during that time period. For example, the early 19th century was a period of democratic revolution, beginning with the French Revolution, and highlighted by the 1848 Revolutions in places such as Germany and Italy. Once you know the general theme of a particular time period facts just start pouring out from nowhere.</p>
<p>First and foremost get a copy of AP European Crash Course. It provides a clear succinct outline. The chapters on key terms and diplomatic history are especially valuable. PR is primarily useful for its coverage of post-World War II history. Thrill3rnit3 is right. The AP test will not ask you dates. Instead, they focus on social, intellectual and political themes.</p>
<p>do we need to no really specific people?
or just most of the famous leaders lol</p>
