<p>The teacher I have for my AP World History class does a very poor job in my opinion of keeping the pace of an AP class and covering all the material, in comparison to my AP Euro class (in which i got a 5). So because of this difference, I'm worried I won't do well enough on the exam, does CC have any tips on how you have handled such a situation? </p>
<p>Im reading head on the assigned textbook World Civilization: The Global Experience 4th Edition, reading through the McGraw-Hill "5-steps to a 5", and and I have the AP World History Princeton Review book on the way, since its very cheap international shipping it takes a couple weeks to arrive. </p>
<p>Is there anything else I can do? I could eventually do the FRQ from past exams maybe one every month and then in april one or two a week? </p>
<p>Anyone have experience of doing well on the exam despite a poor teacher that can build my confidence?</p>
<p>Princeton AP World is a really good resource. Last minute prep actually isn’t too bad for AP world–the Princeton covers the essays very well. The good thing is that you have room for BS and the points are based on a pretty straight-forward rubric that if you learn it you can score 1 or more points on each essay. The review book isn’t in difficult language and you can actually breeze through the course in 2-3 days.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>We’ve all been there. Just read the textbook, do practice problems/questions, and enjoy your 5.</p>
<p>Well, I can tell you that what you shouldn’t do is just wing it. I thought I would be fine…and then I got a 2. Amsco is a good resource, but it should not be your only resource. There are plenty of online review sites. Also, if you do use Amsco and want the answer key to the practice quizzes, let me know and I can give you the link. Really, it is an easy course if you just study. It’s all memorization.</p>
<p>Oops, misread. This is for APUSH. But the advice I gave still applies, just not the amsco part :)</p>
