<p>The World History exam is somewhat newer than the others and consists of 30% European history.
One needs to do a lot of comparison and evaluation of change over time in a given region, as well as a DBQ.
The MC section tests all of world history, and pretty much all of what it tests can be found in the Princeton Review book. You could obtain a copy of the text The Earth and Its Peoples and read that as well...it is a very detailed and useful book, although it is dense. The good part is there is little real memorization of small detail until one reaches 1750, where details and exact dates come into play.
In Euro, one would need to know the exact date of the Magna Carta and explain its influence on Middle Ages English monarchy. World students need to know that the Magna Carta was a document that challenged the theory of absolute divine right and figure out how that movement as a whole compared to other empires in the other parts of the world (the Islamic Caliphate and the Song Dynasty could be used to show the opposite). Or you might be asked to explain the change over time of Western European government between 1000 and 1750, where one could use the Magna Carta to illustrate a change in one section. (You can do this because when a whole region is specified, you can choose any country within it or many o****ries within it and put events that are relevant and happened inside those countries to prove your point in the CHOT (what change over time is normally called)).</p>
<p>Thanks for your post kman.</p>
