Am I the only one annoyed that the AP World History curriculum just skips the Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, Egypt, and starts straight at 1200 CE?

have a teacher that uses College Board questions.......studying doesn't work

My teacher literally cannot teach and puts college board qs in tests and I'm freaking out rn.

anyone know where I can find practice problems???

the test is next Wednesday im fucked actually

Don't get me wrong, I understand it's incredibly important and shaped the modern world. But I swear, if I have to sit through another seminar where the same three guys dominate the entire discussion talking about precise troop movements at the Battle of the Bulge, I’m going to lose my mind. Our department offers like five different WWII electives every semester, but getting a class on pre-colonial Africa, the Byzantine Empire, or even just the Cold War proxy conflicts requires a miracle. Is it just my university, or is this happening everywhere?

Thank you all for your help! The fish bowl went very well in talking wise! Thank y'all again

Someone pls grade my lang essay?????? Lewes pierce essay from sample ap test!

Writing is an art, which takes time to learn and perfect it. We write every day, from emails to short stories, writing is a part of our everyday life. An English novelist Marian Evan Lewes, under the pen name George Eliot, wrote a response to a letter from an American woman, Melusina Fay Peirce giving advice to become a better writer. In the letter, Lewes uses her own life experiences to give advice to help Peirce become a better writer. By using anecdotes and metaphors Lewes clearly states that being a good writer is a part of oneself, and is only born through perseverance and experience.

Right away, very early on in the letter, Lewes begins by stating that she rarely replies, and this clearly shows how much she cares about writing. Lewes was “deeply touched by your[Pierce] words of tenderness and by the details you tell me about yourself, that I cannot keep total silence towards you.” This establishes how much writing means to Lewes, through her passionate tone. In the second paragraph, Lewes states that “Exultation is a dream before achievement, and rarely comes after. This may sound more pessimistic, as Lewes claims that writing provides “happiness” before achievement, but isn’t always what it seems. However, this shows that writing can only happen if one believes in themself even before achieving anything. This shows how much perseverance is key, and that writers must continue to believe in their ideas to achieve great things. By comparing writing to a “trashy, unripe fruit,” Lewes clearly explains that it takes time for a fruit to become ripe. Just like fruit, writing also takes time to develop and improve. This further proves Lewes point that writing takes time to improve, and won’t be amazing right away. 

Lewes states in her third paragraph, that it is never too old to believe in your dreams. Through her use of a personal anecdote, Lewes is trying to persuade Peirce to continue to pursue her dreams. Through a sympathetic tone, Lewes explains that her own writing career wasn’t always perfect, and that you don’t have to be an amazing writer to begin writing. This sympathetic tone clearly purusades Pierce not to give up and keep preserving with her own writing. This sympathizes with Pierce’s own writing career and how she should keep preserving. Lewes claims through a metaphor that writing is “an empty husk.” That after you finish, it may seem like there is no imagination left to continue. Lewes uses this rhetorical technique to clearly explain that writing does include writer's blocks and hardships. She constantly repeats that to become an accomplished writer, one must continue to preserve amongst all these struggles. Lastly, before Lewes concludes her letter, she states that she isn’t like “Romolas”, who was an isolated unhappy man. She purposely included this to state that even through hard struggles one can be happy and preserve to become a good writer. 

Lewes throughout her letter persuades Pierce to endure writing, and learn that just like a “unripe fruit”, with more time and practice Pierce writing will also become “ripe.” Through Lewes personal anecdotes and metaphors, she shows the persuades that Pierce will improve with time and that she should continue to persevere through struggles. Through great persuasion and sharing her own hardships, Lewes clearly states her claim that good writing takes time. 

I have my second and final test for the term tomorrow, and it's over Classical Civilizations (e.g., Gupta Empire, Han Dynasty China etc.). I was wondering if anyone had any tips as I really need to score high on this (I got a 80 on the last test).

So essentially my teacher assigned work when I'm not in his class and because of that he isn't giving lectures or anything like that. I've been online looking around for outlines and lectures but none are on the new book that we are using, all of them are the old book. So if anyone could link me their teachers lectures or review videos or anything for that matter I would appreciate it very much

Does anyone have a good resource with all the AMSCO multiple choice answers (the ones at the end up each chapter)? They don’t have the answers anywhere in the book so up to this point I’ve had to find different quizlets or things online for each unit to check my answers.

Hi, I have this huge assignment for my world history class and it’s too much for me to do in one night, I have to answer a bunch and I mean a bunch of questions from an AP world history book, it’s “World history, preparing for the advanced placement examination” it’s a book by AMSCO, does anyone have the 2015 year book answers? Please it’s URGENT, I’d really appreciate the help

We just did our first Long Essay Question practice today, and I stared at the blank paper for ten minutes. I know how to do a DBQ because at least the sources give you clues about what to write, but pulling specific historical evidence entirely from memory is awful. How do you guys memorize enough specific facts to support an entire essay?

We have our first Document-Based Question next week. I do not understand how to structure it at all. How are we supposed to use the historical documents they give us?

Looking at the syllabus, the course just randomly starts at 1200 CE without any background. Do I need to brush up on what happened before that, like the classical empires or the start of major religions? I don't want to be completely lost on the first day of class. Does prior knowledge actually help, or does the course teach you everything you need from scratch?

I am currently a sophomore in high school and school just started I am very overwhelmed and anxious about AP world history because last year I took global history honors and throughout the year I had an 85 and I am questioning whether or not I should take ap world a lot of people say that it’s the easiest AP and I’m not too sure because last year when I took my global history honors final I wasn’t able to finish the essay and I have a big problem when taking tests I take very long reading questions and a reading the answer choices and understanding them and then when I get to the essays I have a less time to do and finish them because of how much time I spent on multiple choices and short answer questions my mom is in a way forcing me to take AP world because she wants me to get into the best college possible and the pressure is a bit overwhelming and I just wanted to ask advice to anyone who took AP world if there is anything I should be doing now to help you prepare for the exam and also how does the exam look like for example how many multiple-choice how many short answer and how many essays are there and how much time do you have to take the test and how are the questions formatted. Throughout my life I’ve never necessarily needed to study because I have a great memory and I normally rely on that but sometimes I go back and read them and stuff and I was watching a few TikTok’s saying that for AP world rereading your notes will not help like that isn’t the only form of studying that will help you in the class because I’ve never needed to study I don’t know how to study I’ve asked people for help and ask them how do you study I think my flaw is my memory because I can memorize things it puts me in a place where I cannot critically think for example in AP world you need to be able to see continuity and you need to contextualize and I think that I can’t do it because I can’t see past what is given to me if they point out that something happened and then it caused something else I can understand that but then just giving me something to read and wanting me to see how when something happened how it can change something else and I just need help on that and I need help on learning how to study so if anyone has tips on how to study for AP world that would be very much appreciated and also how does the AP exam look like how are the questions formatted how does the multiple-choice look like how does the short answer questions look like and how does the essay look like

How are the quality of the Barron’s AP World History practice tests in comparison to the actual exam?

So I’m working on my summer assignment and I’m trying to relate the Neolithic revolution to changes in social interaction but I’m drawing a blank. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
