<p>ok so im taking the test in may but i want to start studying now how should i study and what should I study
and you 5'ers out there what worked for you guys?
are there any books i should buy?</p>
<p>I read the textbook a bunch of time and prayed that the FRQ would be easier; I was blessed with the Silk Road and racial ideologies last year.</p>
<p>I also need some help, but reading the 1000 page textbook is not exactly practical at this moment. How did you learn the information well enough to be able to answer the CCOT and non dbq essays? I’m ***ing over them right now, but MC is ok.</p>
<p>That why I prayed. If I had any prompt that was in the 1900s, I knew I would be screwed. </p>
<p>Well, I was able to retain the information by rereading the chapters. However, if you don’t find reading the textbook as helpful, CCers recommend PR as a great study guide, but in my experience it’s too condense for essay. I think I would recommend Barron’s because of the more information.</p>
<p>I think it would be a good idea to buy the 2007 released World History exam. It will give you a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>is there any good prep book out there like the blue book for the SAT? I saw the college board book but apparently it has nothing to help but 2 practice tests…</p>
<p>I agree, last year’s essays were so broad…Change/Continuity essay on the Silk Road over like a thousand year period if I remember correctly. Woot.</p>
<p>I got a 5 on that exam. In addition to my school course, I reviewed the PR book. Excellent review. MC is difficult, more so than the AP exam. But it does prepare you well. My teacher recommended it to me, along with 5 steps to a 5.</p>
<p>Some people are very satisfied with the Princeton Review AP review book, but I personally chose the Barron’s review book. I’ve used it all year as a supplement to my class, for completing homework assignments, and even for studying for tests and semester or unit exams. I’ve read some areas of the review book at least three times. By now, I’ve covered just about the majority of the book, and I plan to go through it from front to back one more time between now and the exam.</p>
<p>Barron’s is less consolidated than PR, and I personally prefer to have more information than may be necessary; especially when it comes to the essays.</p>
