<p>hey guys can anyone tell me what the best study guides for the exam? as in princetonreview, barrons, etc... also, a couple more questions:</p>
<p>1) any websites that will help in reviewing
2) any other study resources?</p>
<p>thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>i never even knew world history could be ap.. for apush i just read the book, the entire book (i was grounded for a month) and i got a 4 on the exam</p>
<p>I used Barron's I think. I didn't do anything in that class and I read the book and took all the quizzes.
Here's a website with basically a text book online that looked useful:
<a href="http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_History:Contents%5B/url%5D">http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_History:Contents</a>
I can't find the website with all the quizzes on it that we did last year, it was linked to our AP world textbook... But I did those as well. I got a 5 so maybe i just absorbed everything really well. I thought it was an easy test, nothing to specific, don't worrry about dates, our teache said you only had to remember 5, they were mostly about the crusades and I didn't even have to remember those. Even my essays were on topics that were pretty easy. Someting about the Mings and the Mongols, the triangular trade, and something else.... don't sweat it too much.</p>
<p>I used PR on a full 2000 AP exam that was given to us in class, and I came out with three 9s and a 61/70 on the MC section. The school that I go to always grades harder in the AP class than the actual exam-a 9 on exam = 7-8 in school.</p>
<p>i'm hoping to get at least a 4. i'll be honest with you i never really read the textbook that well, so my friend was recommending that i buy a barron's and a princeton review and read those front to back and know them real well. is there anything else that might boost my chances?</p>
<p>im using barrons and princeton
very helpful b/c barrons is the complicated one with the details and princeton sums it up for u in easier lingo</p>
<p>However, you might want to consider reviewing now, when you have a week off without work-it will just be far harder when you have to balance schoolwork with AP review, particularly if one or more AP exams are pending.</p>

<p>"That was easy."</p>
<p>Mmm...does the trick every time.</p>
<p>The AP World exam is probably far easier than you expect it to be. I studied far too much for it when i took it ast year and got a 5 easily. Just pay attention and buy the Barron's guide. Its a little overkill, but it'll guarantee you a high score.</p>

its the website for my class's book, their outlines were help getting everything in perpective and brushing up.</p>
<p>should I get both barron's and princeton review's book?</p>
<p>I hated the Princeton Review, the author was demeaning and irritating and the information was too superficial. Anyway, you wouldnt have time for two study guides, just learn the Barron's well.</p>
<p>rizwan, thanks for the amazing site! that helps a lot! ANYONE HAVE ANY MORE OF THESE??? </p>
<p>as for the barron's what exactly should I study? should i outline the chapters and quiz myself? what would be the best strategy?</p>

<p>My method was to skim the review sections and then take a practice AP to see what I needed to work on. After some more intense review of those sections, I would take the other AP.</p>
