AP World History without a textbook?!

Is it possible to just read AP World History: An Essential Coursebook and Princeton review and still pass the APWH history exam with no textbook?
How difficult is the test?</p>

I got a five on the APWH exam last year, and I didn’t pay a single attention in class. I cheated on every test and quiz and essay. I did start studying in like February, I want to say, though.</p>

But I jut read Princeton mostly (pay close attention to their compare/contrast and CCOT charts! they’re fabulous) and took a ton of notes and practice tests.</p>

Oh, and you can figure out the answers to MCT if you understand the trends and patterns (and a bit details help). And you definitely need to calm down for FRQ’s for sure. Hahaha.</p>
