<p>I know this isn't the AP forum, but does anyone have any tips for the AP Euro exam? I don't feel very well prepared, and I have three weeks to study. What books do you guys recommend and strategies while taking the test to get a 5? </p>
<p>I already have the REA book.</p>
<p>I got the Princeton Review for my AP Euro exam back in 2007. I got a 5. Though it could have been that I had a good teacher during the year.</p>
<p>You win for taking AP Euro anyway. Only the cool kids take Euro.</p>
<p>You don’t need to have everything memorized, but you need to have studied to the point where you can answer correctly through memory recall. </p>
<p>For the essays, you need both a general understanding of the event and specific knowledge about the things involved. </p>
<p>I thought it was easier than APUSH.</p>
<p>That’s because APUSH is boring and politics/economics based.</p>
<p>Euro has more “culture” in it. My favorite part of Euro was definitely learning about the different art movements.</p>
<p>AP World pwns your Euro. =)</p>
<p>Yeah, whatever.</p>
<p>I personally don’t want to learn about all the million dynasties of China. :P</p>
<p>How much art history is on the test?</p>
<p>Not a lot. But there are definitely a few questions.</p>
<p>I remember there being a few picture questions (aka: here is a painting/sculpture. What does it tell about the time period and its ideals?) and a question on Bauhaus when I took it. Luckily, I like the band so I knew about the art movement.</p>
<p>Get the Cliffsnotes book, I used it!</p>
<p>Read the Viault book. Sums everything up to perfection but start now!</p>
<p>Euro! Took it last year and got a 5. I studied with REA for specifics and Cliffnotes for basics.
As for the art history part, that was also my favorite! Make sure you know Picasso’s Guernica and that Caspar David Friedrich painting (the one that typifies Romanticism) and maybe Death of Marat. But Guernica is seriously always on the test… good luck :)</p>
<p>I love European History… srsly it’s fascinating.</p>
