<p>I'm trying my best (sort of xD) but feeling completely overwhelmed. All these facts are deluding me more and more and we've never done an actual FRQ in class, and I've gotten As and Bs on general in-class essays only because we've just gone over that topic. I'm saying all this under consideration that I think APs are a big deal for colleges, so it would also be nice to be convinced otherwise...Even if you'd be putting up false pretenses to make me less stressed...'Kay, not really. Heh.</p>
<p>Generally, I've studied some of my notes/tests and assignments and am thinking about cramming desperately with the Princeton Review book, which my mom is out buying for me as we speak (and she's mad at me for not having gotten it earlier and therefore having a much higher chance of failing, of course...).</p>
<p>But my problem is, although knowing everything in great detail is impossible and silly for the MC part, you seemingly need to have a frighteningly-wide scope of knowledge, also in knowing the big picture, in order to ace to FRQ, which is a pretty big portion of the final score.</p>
<p>Huh. I guess I don't know what I'm asking for, really...Just tips to build on what I'm already doing and learn more about overall trends, as well as women, the arts, population, map changes, and socioeconomics - just stuff you wouldn't expect to see on the test. I liked how the Princeton Review gave a general summary of the trends.</p>
