So, I don’t think there was an APAH thread made for the AP Art History exam next year, and so I made this thread! It’s probably too early, but you can never be too prepared, right? 
Anyway, please feel free to share advice, resources, etc. Good luck! ~</p>
<p>This Famous Paintings ebook is a resource about the 250 famous paintings that appear most often in a large group of art history books, including all the major textbooks used in AP art history classes.</p>
<p>Based upon insights from these 40 art historians (in about 17,000 pages of books!), we’ve chosen the 250 paintings cited most often – imagine the “Greatest Hits in Art History”, spanning 5+ centuries of art history. The ebook has key facts and linked articles about these paintings and painters, too.</p>

<p>And enjoy AP art history – it’s fascinating.</p>
<p>Study early boys and girls. That is my advice with any AP class. Do not rely on teachers to teach you everything you need. Take some initiate, and you will be guaranteed a higher score in your class, as well as in your tests.</p>
<p>hey guys, im taking ap art history as an online course. i bought my own textbook so i can independently study for it. did you guys find any useful reviewers?</p>
<p>The Barrons book and smarthistory are indispensable.</p>
<p>@kaisernevik: Thank you for the advice! 
@joray726: I’ve heard that the Annotated Mona Lisa serves as a good summary of art history! The Barron’s book is also a good idea!</p>
<p>@Susan Benford: Thank you Mrs. Benford! I downloaded the e-book, and after previewing it, I feel that this resource is really great for reviewing art history! :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the compliments, MathGuy777 - I’m delighted you found the “Famous Paintings ebook” to be helpful. It’s just been updated, and has even more links to articles about masterpieces in Western painting. </p>

<p>Hey guys! How are y’all feeling about the class so far?</p>
<p>I keep reading that the Annotated Mona Lisa is the best preparation book for AP Art History. The only one that I see on Amazon was published in 2007. Is the information in that book still relevant besides the prehistoric art?</p>
<p>Hi, KirbyLegs,</p>
<p>The Annotated Mona Lisa is an excellent preparation tool for the AP art history test.</p>
<p>Mentioned above is praise for the Famous Paintings ebook by Masterpiece Cards. We’ve just updated our survey of Renaissance paintings, which provides an excellent overview to the famous painters of that era.</p>

<p>Good luck with AP art history, too.</p>
<p>Hey Guys! I just started studying for the Art History AP Test! So far, the books I have are: REA Testware Edition and The Annotated Mona Lisa! I’ll probably also check out the Barrons from my library to look through it but I’m not going to annotate it heavily like I will with my REA. Do you guys think that REA is sufficient? Looking through reviews, it seemed like the REA was a better choice than Barrons. I’m kind of scared about this test because my teacher is only on Rococo right now, but in the past years everyone on this forum has reported it as ridiculously easy.</p>
<p>^I don’t have REA, but I have heard good things about it. I’m using the Barron’s guide, however. And really? Haha we were much more behind than that in our class; we covered Rococo in early April. But now, we have to cram and study all of 20th century art (modernism, post-modernism, etc.) until the AP exam. That means we have to do a lot of Barron’s on our own, especially because we did not cover China and Japan post-1300…</p>
<p>China and Japan are not important at all from my understanding. Not knowing anything about them wouldn’t keep you from getting a 5. 20th century is definitely way more important than one part of non-eurocentric art. </p>
<p>Well, this is tomorrow isn’t it? lol, well May 6th came a bit quicker than i thought, time to start studying!</p>
<p>Uh oh! This test is tomorrow isn’t it… Does anyone have some advice on how best to study? It is a really strong class for me but I haven’t done any APAH for the past month. I know almost nothing after romanticism… am I totally screwed?</p>
<p>It wasn’t as bad as I had expected and I actually barely studied. I only really crammed the day before and I"m pretty confident of at least a 4. Did anyone get the short answer FRQ that asked to identify the artist of a self-portrait? I put rembrandt, and I’m dying to know!!!</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>@APDestroyer, idk if we’re allowed to talk about the questions yet, but if it makes you feel any better that’s what I put.</p>
<p>Some questions were really easy or straightforward, and some I just outright didn’t know. I think I have a 4 in the bag, dunno about that 5 though.</p>
<p>aaahh okay okay, lets respect Collegeboard’s silly rule 
</p>
<p>Yeah I agree. The thing is, I went in to the exam hoping for a 3 because I pretty much learned everything from cramming. It looks like REA all access and some random online sources were good enough to get me a 4-5 in 24 hours. I honestly feel like its a 5 if my long frqs were good enough. I sucked at those</p>
