Feel free to post anything about this class you deem appropriate.</p>
I failed the first test and got a 78 in the first marking period.</p>
<p>I think my class is quite easy, I earned a 95.4% in the first 9 weeks. If I can keep that up, the GPA boost would be lovely. However, I’m concerned about the thoroughness of my course, so I plan to read the textbook more and I will be using 5 steps to a 5 as well as online resources to supplement my in-class teaching. We’re being graded on a full DBQ for the 1st time tomorrow.</p>
<p>We missed a week of class because of the hurricane, so I have to refresh my memory. Ugh, my teacher is great but the class itself is so difficult in my school. But I am going for a 96 in that class by the end of the marking period before the second semester.</p>

<p>Where is everyone in their World curriculum ? Apparently my teacher is 3 weeks behind the other World teacher at our school… good thing for review books and textbooks.</p>
<p>I am taking this class right now, and we are studying the Mongols and their interactions with Eurasia. I missed a week of school though, so now I’m screwed trying to get caught back up! I am taking a unit test and the “change and continuity over time” essay tomorrow ugh back to studying…</p>
<p>As a class we go pretty quickly but my ability to retain information is so bad. How do your classes typically roll? For us, we usually read around 2-3 chapters a week + notes and quizzes on each then take a unit test with an essay. We’re doing a unit test over pre-colonized America to Mongols and the expansion of the West. Unit 3 I believe if you’re using the Sterns book?</p>
<p>I’m worried about the actual exam a bit, seeing how our quizzes are random trivia and how my teacher has never taught AP before. Like him but I can’t remember a single thing. Any study tips besides the online guide (I use it already)? I can’t trust this drowning in notes to get me anywhere. I am also taking AP Bio and that requires quite a lot of memorization too, but I excel in that class, so I’m sure it’s not the amount of material, but just the way I’m accessing it. Please share your study methods!</p>
<p>Our teacher doesn’t teach. He asked one of the students in our class for info about the DBQ ._. sigh…</p>
<p>Our textbook is 40 chapters. We’re on chapter 14! darnit.</p>
<p>Im scared of the essays when we take the exam in May… Because Idk how to write a DBQ and a CCOT… I tried researching on how to write one or how it should be, but its really confusing. My teacher doesn’t teach us anything btw. I just hope he teaches us how to write one…
Im on ch11 (Mayas, Aztecs, Teotihuacan, etc) out of 33, so I guess im 1/3 done with the book ^^</p>
<p>We started the 3rd time period today in my class, 1450-1750. We learned about the Columbian Exchange and bla bla bla… I’m concerned about DBQ’s though, because we’ve only written one in my class so far this entire school year.</p>
<p>I have not even written a DBQ essay yet this year! Apparently, we are writing those after winter break 
However, for people that would like online study advice, I recommend just googling simply: ap world history study guide OR ap world history chapter outline OR ap world history notes</p>
<p>Best of all, though, is this site: [Upload</a> & Share PowerPoint presentations and documents](<a href=“http://www.slideshare.net/]Upload”>http://www.slideshare.net/) </p>
<p>It allows you to access other people’s PowerPoints that they upload, and many of them pertain to world history! Just try typing “columbian exchange” into the search bar on the website, and several PowerPoints containing notes/images will pop up as results. My history teacher uses it a lot when she is feeling too lazy to make notes or a Powerpoint herself haha :P</p>
<p>Oh, wow, I’m just now finding this…</p>
<p>My AP class is awesome, though I disslike all the work, but that’s AP for ya. </p>
<p>We just started the 4th period too! Actually…like yesterday, but still.</p>
<p>We’ve written a couple DBQ’s.</p>
<p>I just missed a week and a half of a school before Thanksgiving break, and had a ton of make up work, and am making up the tests tomorrow.</p>
<p>Do not throw away this exam. Im a junior, and APUSH is really much harder. The exam MC questions are very concise and straightforward. The essays are virtually knowledge dumps w/a thesis statement. study hard.</p>
<p>Anyone interested in helping to create US History content which will reach thousands of students? PM me if yes!</p>
<p>Just shot me in the head right now x___x My teacher is making us read 4 chapters (12-15),do a essay exam, and a timeline for a unit (Everything needs to be specific, if you get 1 thing wrong in a category, then you get a 0% for that category). I thought i was gonna have a nice break, but I guess i was wrong :x So far I finished reading ch12, and half way through ch13! Hopefully I make it through!</p>
