<p>We don't follow an American-like AP World History curriculum, but instead an IGCSE/IB curriculum. I have covered the following topics over the past 4 years (2 years of IGCSE history, and 2 years of IB HL):</p>
<p>Russia from Alexander to Cold War
USA in the 1920s
WWI
Rise of Hitler
WWII
Middle East post-WWII
China post-1850
Japan post-1850</p>
<p>I have a Princeton Review book for SAT World History. How much studying do I have to do to get a 700 in the exam? I'm mainly concerned because we haven't covered any Ancient history, or any history of Africa, India, Australia or America(besides the 1920s).</p>
<p>How do you Americans manage to cover the ENTIRE WORLD from 3500 BC to current day in a 1-year AP World History curriculum? It really sounds crazy. You guys must either go into very little detail, or just be smarter than the rest of the world in general.</p>
