<p>hey all fellow apwh students. I was able to acquire a promo code for this website- GETAFIVE.COM. it has 12 hours of video of all of history and test taking skills. Message me and i can send you the code. I also have practice mc to share. Pm me.</p>
<p>Hey, this post looks really useful. Thanks!</p>
<p>I do wish there was a really good prep/textbook for World History like the AMSCO book for APUSH. Kaplan and other prep books don’t really go in depth enough for me.</p>
<p>Woohoo, the school I’m going to changed the APWH credit hours from 3 to 6! I’m doing cartwheels right now haha. So now I’m definitely determined to at least pull off a 4… So now an unrelated top, how many credit hours make up a semester? A year?
The credit I hope to earn…
Macroecon - 3
APWH - 6
AP French - 12
AP Bio - 8
AP Human Geo - 6</p>
<p>These are the credits I get with the optimal scores haha. So that’s what, 35 hours? How far ahead does that put me?</p>
<p>And I’m so sorry I got off topic, I’m not trying to confuse anyone. I just want a 4/5 on this APWH exam SO BADLY</p>
<p>Any general guidelines on how I should generally score on the MC’s and FRQ’s to get a 5?
I’ve taken a few practice test but they are still in the 40-50’s range.</p>
<p>Can I please get the promo code forgetafive.com ? for AP World History</p>
<p>Thanks a lot this is really helpful!</p>
<p>I need a 5 for this exam to be eligible as a course in college!! what a bummer!!</p>
<p>Can I have a promo code for getafive.com ?
Thank you.</p>
<p>its MALDONADO all caps</p>
<p>If you are a random Stanford applicant and random a AP World test taker last year, you have more of a chance of getting into Stanford than a 5. :D</p>
<p>(Even if you did coursenotes all year long) Take the review book. Do one half of it in a day and the other half in the other day before the test. Tips~while reading, focus on what information might be useful for an essay, such as compare and contrast with what you read. That’s basically it, and BS whatever you can during the AP test to nab all the necessary points.</p>
<p>I read through the Princeton Review book twice, took all released exams (as well as five or six practice exams), and I got a 5. It’s important to know the major issues of each time period. The PR book does a good job of outlining each time period in World History and explaining the major concepts in each. Often, even if you don’t know the exact answer to a question, you can figure out the answer by remembering what was going on in each period.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I took APWH last year, personally I thought my class didn’t cover enough of what was going to be on the test. Thankfully though, i got a 4. :)</p>
<p>gomdorri, hopefully you see this and can reply quickly because I’m sort of making rush decisions right now and need advice. So when you said you had about 3 days of studying, how were you able to read PR many times and Barrons too? How did you somehow finish reading all these books in just that short time or did it take longer? I really want to know how you spread out and managed your time and how long it really took you because I’m running short on time and I can only really take a week on World HIstory or even less. Please help me out here! I think I’m going to buy the PR.</p>
<p>I’d consider myself a fairly fast reader. Three days for me was plenty of time, especially since I was studying for most of the day. First, I read through each study guide thoroughly a bit more slowly, paying full attention to every word. Then, I tackled sections at a time (so I’d look at the PR information first, then read the Barron’s information on the same topic) and take notes while underlining and emphasizing what I thought was key. Honestly though, your study methods may differ. This is just what worked for me.</p>
<p>With the three days, I was able to skim both books all the way through several times, and focus on my weak sections as necessary.</p>
<p>If you’re taking the APWH exam and have less than a week, Princeton Review still won’t be enough. Get Barron’s too. PR is great for review since it’s an easy read, but it doesn’t have the detail that you’ll need to answer some of the FRQ. </p>
<p>gomdorri woah, that’s like…wow. It took me more than two weeks to read a simple Psychology AP Princeton review of about 200 pages and the Princeton is 400…and I only have about 5 days. I wish I was a fast reader like you 
Hopefully I’ll be able to read at least most of the PR in that time. Thanks for replying, means alot! </p>
<p>Darn. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Best of luck though!</p>
<p>The new Barron’s 6th Edition has Short Cut sections for each of the six time periods of AP world. Each Short Cut is about 8 pages of charts and bullet points, and they outline a 7 day study plan for the desperate on page 4 of the review book. It’s brand new so I have not heard how well it worked for anyone yet. They didn’t have this in the 5th edition. There used to be a Kaplan AP Express review book that was really thin for people who didn’t have time for the regular review book, but they never updated it after the test changed.</p>
