<p>In my freshman World History I class, we covered world history from the beginning of time to the Renaissance. In my Honors World History II sophomore class, we covered from the Renaissance to the 1980's using "World History" by Duiker and Spielvogel, an approved AP World History text. I am currently a Junior in AP US (so I am learning the AP essay writing skills). How realistic would it be for me to get a 5 on the AP World History test. I hear from many people that its quite simple, however very long. For study, I am using my textbook from last year and the Princeton Review book. I remember loads of info from last year and I think I stand a good chance. I also think it will give me a good idea of what to expect (testing wise not material wise, obviously) for the AP US test two days later. What do you think?</p>
<p>Basically for the test you need a really broad knowledge of what happened in the world, though there is no need to know everything deeply. In addition, most of the exam focuses on western history despite its name of "World History."</p>
<p>As long as you can cover the wide timeperiod(9000B.C. to about 2000A.D.), and be able to write stellar comparison essays, you'd have a great chance:)</p>
<p>On the essays try to remember key facts.... like potatoes introduced in europe created a population boom
And remember last years essay were like 1000-17000 or something along those lines....therefore it will probably focus on a different time period</p>
