<p>I am currently enrolled in a pretty demanding Honors World History course which uses an AP-oriented text book; however, it is not technically an AP preparation course. Still, many students in previous years have taken the exam and done quite well, so I decided to sign up for it along with some others in my class. They say that the class should prepare us enough, but I know for a fact that we skip one or two chapters in the text which are expected to be on the exam, and I want to be well prepared if I am going to make the effort to take it.</p>
<p>Sorry for the long post, my point is: does anyone have any tips on how to study for the exam. I am looking for methods of studying which wont be too time-consuming because I still have to keep up with homework etc. in the actual class.</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>I do plan on reading those missing chapters over this spring break.</p>
<p>Get AP prep books.
I have the Spark notes summary of world history, it’s just a few very concentrated pages. My teacher has literally never given us a lesson, so I need it.
I also have Barron’s for WH.</p>
<p>My SAT Subject situation was sort of like yours. I hadn’t taken WH and I wanted to take a Subj test in it. I reread my 9th grade Honors Modern History notebook, which, of course, skipped a few chapters, as it were, and read through the CB’s guide to the test, taking one practice test. I got a 770. You can test prep on your own.</p>
<p>^Agree with Millancad.</p>
<p>Get a prep book. Highlight. Write. Make sure to know IDEAS and TRANSFORMATIONS and CHANGES, and not just events and people.</p>
<p>For me, on the subject OR AP Test, when I didn’t know the answer to a more specified question, I could use my general knowledge of trends/thoughts/etc. to determine an answer.</p>
<p>You CAN prepare for it on your own–it will help if the topic interests you.</p>
<p>Good Luck! :)</p>
<p>thanks guys 
anyone else</p>
