Ap World History Review
APWH Exam Review Guide
This is basically everything we’ve ever learned in APWH, which I’ve compiled all into one study guide for use on the AP Exam. I know it’s a lot, and I apologize: but we’ve learned a lot. I’ve gone through the entire Princeton Review Book: reading, highlighting, and annotating to make sure I’ve covered everything important, along with outlines, handouts, websites, and other books. I really want everyone to do well, and I know you all will anyway—but I think this will help. I’m sorry if I’ve missed anything, but I don’t think there are any errors.
I apologize if some charts or symbols don’t load/are loaded weird on your computer. (e.g. I made several pyramid charts of social structures which may not load due to lower versions of MS Word, in which case I strongly recommend you get someone else to print out the study guide for you, because they are important.
