AP World History: With Online Tests (Barron's Test Prep)

KwwwMy daughter used this tool to help get ready for her AP World History test. She is a HS Freshman taking 2 AP courses. This course was 2nd semester and the teacher didn’t pick a text book or cover the units is order as expected. So they covered Asia and no other continents then CoVid-19 happened. There wasn’t much if any teaching using distance learning so we got her recommended books to try to catch-up and fill in to take the open questions AP test, which is harder than multiple choice I guarantee that. We find out her results mid-July but this goes to show why there needs to be standards in education and taught that way. Also Distance Learning has been around for 40 years or more and if they would of had backup classes prepared this confusion we are in could of been avoided. Setup Standards and at a minimum record classes and pick/edit the best and put online for times like now. If a student is absent they can at least see what they missed. If someone didn’t get something they can watch it again and go to the spot in question. Have a FAQs area so questions asked by students can be reviewed. Include parents to oversee this system so those parents that can oversee and be involved can be included.My daughter had to go over a lot without much help from her teacher through distance learning. Time to fix these systems and implement contingency plans. Those that lived through 911 should understand, time to get to work America. Teachers should be teaching not being babysitters, guards and police. But distance learning will work is done correctly. Also if resources are put online all students can access them.

This books really gives an in-depth understanding of world history, being the only book I used to review for my ap test. I do think it over-prepares you with knowledge since the test is more logic based, but knowing more is better than knowing less. But what you must AVOID are the practice tests on this book because it's irrelevant to the difficulty and structure of the real ap test (These are too easy and not fully history-based). Hope this helps!

i got this book nine months ago and my ap test is in 3 weeks and i haven't read this once. i think it'd be a useful book though

anyways. im sure this book is great, but im not taking ap art history. i gave them 5 stars anyways whatever

Daughter having a AP test and got for home studying. She does carry around and to school too.

This is not really what I wanted when learning able history. Maybe it’s ok for young adults heading off to college, but not for with younger kids.

Great resource to refer to, but it is very content heavy and wordful as well.

It worked. Daughter used regularly as her teacher wasn't the best. She got a 4 on the AP Test so I'd say it was money well spent.
