AP World History Exam- Do we need to memorize the time periods for the AP exam?

For example:
9000 B.C.E- Origins of sudanic herding
760 b.c.e- conquest of egypt by king kashta of kush
900 B.C.E- invention of iron metallurgy in sub-Sahran Africa</p>

No you don’t have to.</p>

Not everything. But it is DEFINITELY important to memorize the dates for important events, because they pop up on the MC part, and you need to show your knowledge in the essays</p>
