<p>Hi! I'm taking AP Euro this year, and I have a horrible teacher who doesn't really teach anything and just shows us movies.. So I was thinking about reading the whole textbook while taking notes on it. I tried doing a chapter and it took me FOREVER. I sort of think it's a waste of time because it's not like I'm completely unaware of everything..</p>
<p>Should I just read and study my review books (PR, 5 steps) ? Please advise me based on your experience and the depth of the test! I really want a 5 on this test.</p>
<p>Sorry that you don’t have a good teacher, but don’t bother reading the whole textbook and writing notes on it.</p>
<p>My son took AP Euro last year and got a 5 on the AP test, but he had a good teacher. He also studied very hard for it.</p>
<p>He used AP Achiever European History throughout the year, especially for tests. He also used Crash Course the few days before the test.</p>
<p>During the year he listened to Hank’s History Hour, a wonderful set of videos done by a then high school senior who is now a student at Dartmouth. Easy to google.</p>
<p>You can find some book outlines here:
[European</a> History Outlines | Course-Notes.Org](<a href=“http://www.course-notes.org/European_History/Outlines]European”>Outlines | CourseNotes)</p>
<p>Make sure you know how to do a DBQ, as that will be on the test.</p>
<p>Good luck, you still have plenty of time.</p>
