<p>What were your favorite themes or subjects covered in AP World? </p>
<p>For me, I would say the Cold War era and the Age of Enlightenment were the best because they were easy to appreciate, and I liked the whole style of how they differed from previous eras in history.</p>
<p>I’ve always liked the Greeks and the Romans, though probably just because I have an extra appreciation for them after spending an entire year on basically just those two civilizations in 7th grade. I figure they actually got government right and, in the case of the Romans, their technology was amazing - they were only maybe 300 years of innovation away from us today… Had the empire not collapsed we could be who-knows-where in terms of technology.</p>
<p>I also liked the Renaissance because people began to break free of the restraints that had fettered them to stagnation for a millennium. </p>
<p>Everything in the West post-1800 or so was particularly fascinating, but maybe only because I had never learned it before. I’m with you there, Eddie, the Cold War era was great.</p>
<p>the MONGOLS. The Mongols are just so boss… Ghengis Kahn was crazy awesome, even though he was pretty, eh, crazy. Hahaha</p>
<p>You know it’s funny, because I do like the Mongols a lot, but my teacher has like a man crush and we spent like 1 month on the mongols alone, so it got pretty boring eventually, haha. Buttttt, it did help a lot for the AP exam!</p>
<p>Yeah, I think the MONGOLS are pretty darn amazing.
I also found myself laughing when I read about the Opium wars in China. haha</p>
<p>OP, you should definitely take AP US History next year if you’re interested in the Cold War. I don’t think AP World did it justice. =)</p>
<p>I totally loved learning about the Classical Age of China and India. Perhaps because I can actually understand and connect to those topics. I also like the Age of Exploration, Industrial Revolution, and Cold War!</p>
<p>Imperialism, WWI, WWII, Cold War, Enlightenment, and the Mongols. The Mongols were so much fun to read about.</p>
<p>I have never taken it before, is slavery on the exam?</p>
<p>I can’t really say until I get my scores back in mid-July. I may either hate or love a certain time period depending on the score. You know…</p>
<p>lemone: Maybe maybe not, depends on each year 
But we DO study it!</p>
