What is the best way to study for the AP World History test?

Real quickly. You're almost out of time. \n\nSeriously, the best thing you can do for any AP test is practice, practice, practice. Hopefully you have one or more of those books with practice exams. Take all the tests, check all the answers, learn from your mistakes. (But do keep in mind all those books have typos and errors, so if you come across something that seems to contradict information you've learned elsewhere, doublecheck it!) The practice tests also help get you in shape to sit there and answer all those questions for 3-1/2 hours. It's like getting in shape for a marathon. \n\nGood luck. Doing well on AP exams can give you a big headstart in college, more flexibility to take the courses you want to take, and the possibility of graduating earlier.

play my favorite music (not too loud)\nread and try to understand the subject (english)\nfor history read it like it was a story and memorize the imortant things sucha as dates or referneces like which one happened first, etc.\nfor math and science i just do a lot of problems to practice, since i love math and science i don't see studying as an obligation, but the best way to study is to practice.

The way i like to study for a test is to read the material, think it through, and then try to write it down in point form. this is good because i will see what i cant remember, and the pointers can be used as a review.

Take detailed notes, outline sections. Read through chapters and answer questions in textbooks. Complete any chapter review questions and have others quiz you. Study around 5-15 minutes each day, and don't cram before a big test. Feel free to take breaks when you feel tired, hungry, etc., but stay on task.

repetition is key. make notecards and carry them with you. study with other people and take turn asking questions.

1) LOTS OF COFFEE\n2) Often reading aloud can help you remember things more than reading them silently\n3) If you're working on something math or science related, try skipping problems and doing one or two per section, go back, and re-read the sections, paying close attention to definitions and formulas\n4) Get at least a little bit of sleep; remember you need 4 hours just to fuction, and a couple more can't hurt. Honestly a well rested brain will probably be able to piece together enough BS to at least pass the test, as opposed to a tired brain trying to cling to whatever it barely knows in between random shut-downs.

Use the PRTR method: Preview. Read. Think. Review.\n\nPreview the text by nothing subheadings, bold faced words and maybe making up some questions you to answer as you read.\n\nRead the text carefully, highlighting and making notes as you go along.\n\nGo do something else for an hour but don't watch TV or go on the computer. You will end up thinking about what you read and putting it in your own words.\n\nReview your highlighting, notes and answered questions the day you read the chapter, before a lecture and before a test.

For math, do your homework every night. Go and ask your teacher questions every time you don't understand. \n\nFor history, find out before hand what will be on the tests and what formats they'll be in. Ask your teacher how you can best study for them. \n\nAs for your grades in general, do EVERY single assignment, even if they seem dumb. All the points add up by the end of the quarter.

read about it every day, think about it, talk about it, draw pictures about it, and before you go to sleep, read a little about a narrow subject.\n\nReview your notes in the 10 minutes before class starts.\n\nCramming makes for memory that easily evaporates, repeated reviews go into longterm memory.\n\nThe human mind can only study profitably for about 45 minutes at a time, then you need to take a break to let what you study seep into your memory. Then write in your own words a summary of what you had just studied. Then continue to study for the same subject about 30 more minutes.

Read Aloud. Make notes, force yourself to be responsible for the information you've gotten every 2 paragraphs. Mostly reading aloud should get u on track...jack

I had a week to squeeze in SAT studying 'cause of my mid-terms. Buy/borrow a study book (Barron's,Princeton,etc), they really help in getting you familiar with the exam style. I would've failed miserably without that book.\nYour vocab knowledge is extremely important! It helps in Reasoning Test plus gives added advantage for the Essay.\nDon't rush through the paper! You'll just end up making tons of mistakes. Always double/triple check if you have the time. If you have a tendency of reading too quickly and missing out impt info, double-checking reaaally helps.

Well, take a couple of minutes to identify why it is important for you and your life to study hard for AP. There isn't any inherent reason to study. You study hard when you can connect why studying now and doing well in school will be a benefit to your life now and in the future.\n\nDon't forget to take short breaks from studying every 45 mins to an hour, and schedule study time so that you have a beginning and end in mind. Then you should make sure that you do something that you like after you study for your scheduled study period.\n\nGood luck, you can do it.

just study, study, and study. write up some notecards to make into flash cards, and keep referring to it. \nps, why did you wait so long to study? last minute studying doesn't normally work. you need repetitiveness to make it count on tests.

Well, as a teacher of AP US history classes, you learn all about US history, which seems a bit obvious.  Almost all students who take the class (at least where I teach) plan on taking the AP exam in May.  Therefore, there's a strong focus on factual content and we cover the entire subject, from discovery and settlement to modern times.  Students have about 8-15 pages of reading a night, homework questions, an electronic bulletin board, papers, biweekly quizzes, and tests, which include multiple choice, short answer, and essays.  There is also practice for the DBQ - document based question - which asks you to take a position and defend it, using the documents you are given as well as your outside knowledge on the topic.  \n\nIn essence, while you learn content, you also learn discipline, how to write, how to think analytically, and how to construct a historical argument.  While the work is challenging, I don't think it's impossible.\n\nIf you are asking because you are thinking of taking the class next year, I hope you do take it.  It's a lot of work but very much worth it!  Good luck.

The most effective way for me to study is to use flash cards.  I think this is because in addition to "flashing" them to study I have written down the question and the answer.
