Would I be able to get a 5 on the AP WH Exam if i rigorously started self studying from this moment on and I was wondering how different is the AP WH Exam vs SAT WH Exam?</p>
<p>bump :3</p>
<p>Honestly, it depends on you, the student. If you have a strong work ethic and are used to pulling A’s in your classes, then self-studying will be easier than if you are constantly being distracted by social media or other things. I am taking AP World at my school, and I must stress that there is A LOT of information to comprehend. However, don’t let this discourage you! Only you can decide if you are capable of having the self-motivation and perseverance to study your hardest.</p>
<p>If you do not mind, it would be easier to answer your question if I knew more about how good of a student you are, so here are a few questions:</p>
<p>–Is this your first AP exam that you have self-studied for?
–Have you ever taken an AP class at school before?
–How much free time could you allocate for studying for the exam after school?
–Do you tend to get good grades in difficult classes?
–Do you enjoy learning about history?</p>
<p>All of these questions will help you decide whether you are ready to self-study for such an informational subject.</p>
<p>I have not taken either the AP Exam or the SAT Subject Test for APWH yet, but I am taking both at the end of the school year. From what I hear, the AP exam is more focused on interpreting interactions, changes, continuities, and patterns between different cultures/civilizations throughout history. Basically, the AP exam is rather general and broad, whereas the SAT Subject Test is said to be pure memorization of facts. To me, studying for the subject test would be more difficult because one would have to memorize every single detail and fact that has ever occurred in the history of human beings! </p>
<p>I hope this helps! I wish you luck with whatever decision you happen to make, but I do hope you make the choice to take the AP exam! After all, colleges love to see kids take the initiative to self-study ;)</p>
<p>My answers are </p>
<p>Yes
No
Probably as much as 3 hours per day
I don’t know what you mean by difficult classes since my school doesn’t offer any kind of Ap/IB or honour classes, but I am applying to a IB school
I greatly enjoy learning about history </p>
<p>I also self studied for SAT WH and got 750</p>
<p>Well, unfortunately, you have a lack of experience with AP classes, but this most likely will not detract from self-studying. You seem to have a lot of time for studying, so if you were to actually set aside that much time per day, then you would have a good shot at getting a 5. Also, enjoying history is a nice bonus which will hopefully motivate you to keep studying! Judging from your SAT subject test score, you have a solid background already in history which will hopefully make self-studying easier. In short, you have a better chance than most at self-studying for the AP exam; just make sure to go on [College</a> Admissions - SAT - University & College Search Tool](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com%5DCollege”>http://www.collegeboard.com) and search for the AP World History requirements and such. Good luck, and happy studying :)</p>
<p>Can you get a good score, like a 5 on the AP exam, without using the textbook but only using prep books? Thanks! :D</p>
<p>^Um…I really doubt it. How would you learn all the material???</p>
<p>@TheAnomalist Yes, you could. I am currently using Barron’s, and it is WAY BETTER than the textbook. First of all, it gives you straight answers and details that you ABSOLUTELY NEED to know for the AP Exam. Also, it actually provides MORE details than does the textbook.</p>
<p>@GSAthwal Yes, you could. If you study for the AP Exam, then you are all set for the SAT II.</p>
