<p>I just took Barron's tests in AP WH, and got 55 and 59 points them respectively. Is the Barron's indicative of my performance on the test?</p>
<p>Today I took a barrons test, 65/70. Then I took a Princeton Review test, 44/70. I have no idea which one more closely matches the real test.</p>
<p>Hahahaha I just got a 40/70 on a Princeton Review test...so I hope that one doesn't come close to matching the real test. I had a horrible teacher though, so I'm pretty much prepared to fail tomorrow.</p>
<p>I'm really hoping that the Practice tests are not indicative of my test score. Let's just say that all my multiple choice on PR and Barron's were under 40...</p>
<p>well guys, i took AP WH last year, and i self studied it (not offered at my school). the only AP book i used was PR, and then I used a college textbook to learn about stuff that PR didn't' cover very thoroughly and that i didn't know very well. i got about 52-55 raw score when i took them, but i thought PR was a little harder than the actual AP, but not like a huge difference. i dunno about barron's man, sorry.</p>
<p>FYI:
i hate to be the breaker of bad news, especially the night before the test, but if you've looked at the essays for the past 5 or 6 years, they flip flop. one year the essays are like ;LA;SDFO;IJASDF; hard, and the next they're lawl-ingly easy. last year was an easy year my friends, so you're all screwed</p>
<p>I just took the exam (I'm in Hong Kong so we're like 12 hours ahead of the East Coast or something) and it was rather easy, don't worry too much guys.</p>
<p>is it nuts to selfstudy WH ap for 2008?</p>
<p>ill be taking plenty of aps next year so i won't have too many hours to study.</p>
<p>i have a little background from WH honors in freshman year and Euro ap this year.</p>
<p>i dont know. i actually enjoy these humanities subjects, especially history.</p>
<p>doable? </p>
<p>and according the sk33tastic...the essay will be easy for my year? lol</p>
<p>It's not that bad as long as you read a lot. </p>
<p>Self-studying is doable cause you'll be able to figure out pretty quickly which concepts are important and which aren't.</p>
<p>Buy World Civilizations: The Global Experience (AP Edition) by Peter Stearns (he heads the committee that writes the exam) and read all of it.</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>also, what studyguide books are good for WH ap?</p>
<p>and what should my time commitment be? should i start soon or can i wait until aps approach?</p>
<p>also what is the difficult part of the exam?
i heard something about change over time essays?</p>
<p>thankss</p>
<p>In my experience (took the test today) the PR tests are much more difficult than the MC on the actual test.</p>
<p>I had three review books for the exam, Princeton Review, Kaplan (2005 version), and 5 Steps to a 5. </p>
<p>I thought that 5 Steps to a 5 was pretty bad and annoying. The tests at the end of each chapter were so damn stupid, like if there was a question with 5 answer choices, the question and two answer choices (A,B) would be one page and the answer choices (C,D,E) would be on the back page or the next page which made it really annoying to take the test. </p>
<p>I'm a fan of Kaplan for some reason but I did most of my studying from Princeton Review because that's what the class used for review. I took both practice exams (2) in Kaplan and PR and thought they were harder than what I took on Thursday (real exam).</p>
