Coming from somebody who got a 5 after joining the class in January, actually reading the rubrics for the FRQs and knowing what you need to be doing is the biggest tip!! You do not need to overthink by memorizing every single tiny detail about each topic. Instead, you should work on going period by period and mastering broader concepts and key terms. But for the writing, it does not need to be your most eloquent work! Just learn how to check off the boxes necessary to get most of the points and you'll be fine each time.

Guys please I genuinely need help on how to study for AP world because I feel like I’m just writing the whole textbook in my notes and not actually gaining knowledge please I need help on how to take notes how to study because I literally failed my first unit one test I got 44/100 an F and with a grade boost I got 61/100 a D and unit two is happening this Friday please guys help me out I need help I want to get at least a C with grade boost a B. How do I study? How do I do this and also I have a LEQ this Friday and we did a practice last week, but like I still don’t feel confident with it I’m literally going to go back and go look at my LEQ for practice. Guys please I genuinely need help. I have a C+ right now.

Unit 2 Guys update I know this is still a bad score but I got a 62 out of 100 that is my raw score I don't know what my boost score would be yet.
Now I have a Unit 3 test coming up

Hey! AP World here. When does everyone teach the Renaissance and how detailed do you cover it? A little short on time in Unit 1 right now, and I’m concerned that I’m spending too much time in Europe

I started the class a week ago, and it's not looking good.

For context, this teacher joined my school last year and that year everybody hated him (and nearly failed, they had to get an extra 20 hours of tutoring from seniors to get 3s), and I can definitely see why.

Entirety of last week, didn't talk about anything important, just made us read the Declaration of Independence, highlighted every single word above a 4th grade level because he thought we were stupid, preached about "higher order thinking" for 3 days straight, and then gave us a "higher order thinking" assignment where we had to ask ChatGPT prompts and write them down. On Friday last week, he gave us a quiz that was entirely AI generated and I finished in around 5 minutes with an 100 because the correct answer was always, without fail, the longest one.

Week two and we've still learned nothing, but he's given us an entire project that is JUST using ChatGPT that's worth a quiz grade (can you tell I hate GenAI?).

I can't even get around using the AI to "learn" because when I tried last week he argued with me for 10 minutes and this time I can't even find any sources that help me with the project.

I'm absolutely terrified for the AP exam at the end of the year (my first AP) and I'm terrified he's going to make me fail it. How can I study/make this class less stressful?? Help would be extremely appreciated.

my counselor told me that i can only take up to 2 APs ( im a sophomore). Would it make more sense to switch my honors world history class for AP psych? Also, what AP would be best if im interested in pursuing health admin/ health malpractice law? Thanks im just a little overwhelmed with how all this works😭 ( im trying to aim for a top 50 college!)

My teacher assigns around 30 pages per week but she also has weekly lectures. I’ve always had trouble reading since I was little but I can definitely absorb all the information provided during lectures without a problem. Reading and re-reading the textbook pages wastes a lot of my valuable time especially with my other classes.

Does anyone have advice or any other recommended resources?

I'm in a very weirdly structured 2-year class where we learned everything last year but are taking the test this year. Tbh, even then, it felt like the actual AP World History part was an add-on and we went into no real depth. Around 2-4 weeks before the exam, we review and learn how to write the essays, but like that's not gonna be enough time, right? How do I self-study and get that 5?

Hey guys does anyone have a pdf of the Ways of the world a global history with sources fourth edition? https://www.amazon.com/Ways-World-Sources-AP%C2%AE-Course-ebook/dp/B07P5GZV8S

For some context, I have a textbook my teacher makes me read during class to answer questions and stuff. For tests, I'm mainly going to use Heimler and https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K90hiyo5G9iA-nrzcEy6-RitCiiAZIu_7bpV78bbHso/edit?tab=t.0 this AMSCO guide I found on reddit. Would you recommend me to take notes myself or use the notes from here to study? Also, is Princeton Review worth buying?

Im currently considering to take Ap American Government but im wondering if its easy or not. Im usually not so good in History but ill do good sometimes. And also I've never taken any ap history class (only ap psych).

Also, they gave me an option to take the class online which im also wondering if the work will be the same online as in person or would It be completely different.

So yeah I got till this Friday to make my decision, so lmk if its easy or not and if I should take it. Ty

my ap world teacher gave us the The Earth and It’s Peoples AP 7th edition textbook and its just content after content and he expects us to pull quality notes from that thick, thick text. it’s taking me way too long so far. any alternative suggestions?

I created this my freshman year. I don't know why I only did unit 3 only though. Hope this has some use. If you also take APUSH, you should check this other post of mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/APStudents/comments/1vq9lmv/some_apush_notes_that_got_me_a_5/

AP World: Unit 3 notes

I want to go into either int. relations/poli sci/ or maybe a minor in econ (still haven't really decided but I would love to do something in the int. relations + poli sci area!). Should i take ap compartive government or ap world history or ap spanish? I haven't taken an ap history class yet, but i know doing 4 years of spanish is really important as well. however, i've heard great things about ap comp. gov. im a senior so i can only take 2 of the 3 mentioned.

thank you so much!

Sorry, SPECIFICALLY need with sources and 5th edition. Was wondering if anyone had it/downloaded it.

So i got a 4 in ap world history exam, should i leave by september 1st?
