The strategy for doing well in AP world history both in class and on the AP test is simple: Listen, do your homework, and study. Listening is the most important for learning the content. Listen to Mr. Brock in class and you can still retain the information pretty well even without studying (not recommending this tough!). Homework is important simply because it has so much weight on your final grade. Don't freak out though; if you attempt the homework, you'll get the points. Finally, even when you feel like you don't have anything to study, go home and review your notes from class or watch the GetAFive videos. It's that easy!
