Hey guys, </p>
I’m self-studying AP World History but I don’t think I have enough time to read an entire textbook at this point. I spent one day reading AP EURO prepbook last year and got 4 (no essay practices at all) 
I plan on only reading Barron’s and memorizing rubrics for FRQs. </p>
Has anyone gotten a 5 without using a textbook? What did you do? (as in what resources you used to prep?) </p>
Thanks!</p>
A lot of people on here say they’ve gotten 5’s by flipping through a prepbook, but of course you can’t verify that. </p>
Since you need to know general trends, PR might help too – Barron’s can be a bit too much sometimes. If you spent a day looking at AP Euro, four or so months of looking through a prepbook AND practice tests should give you a five.</p>
I’m studying APWH this year, so good luck to us both.</p>
Thx… As of now, I have about 2 months of time…hopefully sufficient. Anyways, thanks for the advice!!!</p>
Good luck!</p>
