    I am currently taking AP Euro and I am honestly so lost with the class. I want to do good on the AP exam which is in May for me and I got the Princeton Review prep book recently, but I don't really know how to break the studying up... How many months in advance do you recommend to study and do well on the AP Euro exam?

      1. Know the basic format about mcq and how you need to approach them
      2. Memorize the rubric for the essays
      3. Start timing your leq, dbq, saq that u get every chapter
      4. Take practice tests and read the book
      AP euro is also my first ap class but this is what plan im creating to study for the ap exam

    I'm a freshmen and having Ap Euro History is so exhausting and little complex because of some documents that uses old english speaking words such as religious texts. So I would use context clues and understanding important vocabulary such as renaissance and humanist.

      Yuu- Chan do you have an AP curriculum at your school? if so, i would reach out to a guidance counselor and they should be able to add you to an ap classroom that is exam only. if your school doesnt have an ap curriculum i would recommend reaching out to a coordinator of the closest school (you can find this on the ap course ledger) and register through there! you would have to test through that school bc only accredited places are allowed to administer the exam.

      Do you have any recommendations for first time aps or a good amount? I didn't realize self-study was an option last year so I'm a sophomore, but the only class sophomores are allowed to take is human geo and that class didn't fit in my schedule.
      Thank you btw!!!

      @megzcreates  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@courtney3849 ah i understand! ap euro actually wasn't available at my school even though we had an ap curriculum as well so what the school had to do was order the exam, but i had to take it at the county office (no idea why, but ymmv). i will say though that sometimes guidance counselors aren't aware that self studying is a thing either (mine wasnt lol) so keep pushing and if worse comes to worse reach out to collegeboard yourself.
      if you've never taken an ap, i would probably cap it at 1-2 self study classes since the curriculum takes a bit of adjustment. but also consider how much time you have + your other school commitments as well! some easy aps i'd recommend to self study are human geo, enviromental science, psych and econ. id probably stray away from science/math if you don't consider that your strong suit. if you have any specific questions about those courses though ive taken all so feel free to ask!

I don't like the websites since they generally charge a lot of money and if your daughter can hold herself responsible I would definitely just self study and run her own pacing/timing, especially if she has other classes and extracurriculars.
