<p>I was wondering if there are any differences from writing AP history essays vs. english essays. For example, I thought in english, the purpose is to address three aspects of the topic to prove one's perspective on a topic. (ex. should students be required to take gym...(no) thesis: 1.,2.,3. and then use those as supports.</p>

<p>However, to achieve a decent score on ap essays, the format is like completely different. For example, in ap world compare and contrast essays, is the format like:</p>

<ol>
<li>Intro/Thesis (Compare 1 similar topic, 1 different)</li>
<li>Similar
3.Different</li>
<li>Conclusion</li>
</ol>

<p>And how are the formats for DBQ's/Change Over Time? Thanks.</p>

<p>Acquire Princeton Review AP World History or Barron’s. They both explain this in detail. I found Princeton Review to more clear and concise when it came to the essays. Ultimately, I followed PR’s guidelines when it came to writing the actually FRQs. Barron’s is still great for a more detailed review of world history, though. Good luck!</p>
