AP European History - How do I get a 5?

Test Preparation AP History & Social Sciences
1

May 12 is coming soon and I’m sort of freaking out. I don’t feel prepared for it.

I’ve tried the Princeton Review practice exam. For MC, I got 37/55; not sure if that is good enough for a 5. Anyways, I also tried the DBQ and had a hard time with it. I realized that I needed to practice understanding primary sources; the documents were pretty old, and I only had a vague idea of what it was about.

I am a sophomore right now. I’ve never taken any AP exams; this is my first. And this is self-studied.

I have the Princeton Review AP Euro, REA Crash Course, and Modern European History by Viault as my books. I have no textbook. Would you recommend I buy any other resources? Is it worth paying the $29 for the Albert.io questions?
