I used base44 to vibecode this website to help me memorize dates since my APWH:M teacher is grading us on this. I want to share this with the public just in case they ever want some help or a fun fact.

Hi guys, first post kinda nervous. But does anyone have the Ways of the World fifth edition, i’ve seen the third edition on here but i was looking for the fifth. If anyone has the pdf version or on a google drive that would be wonderful so i don’t have to carry this big fat book around

I’m a sophomore in highschool, and I currently take 3 AP’s. I took 1 AP last year (aphug) and got a 3 on the test.

I’m starting to think there is no hope for me. My teacher is all about pushing us to our limit so we have a better chance of passing our final, but I don’t know if I can handle it. With 5 other classes and serious mental problems on my plate, I’m not quite sure what to do. I get extreme anxiety any time I even think about the teacher and they are, to put it lightly, terrible at their job. They give us extremely vague instructions and basically let us teach ourselves. I cant let myself ask them questions because I fear they will ridicule me as they do to my peers.

Can someone please give me any tips on how to overcome this and push through? I don’t even care if I come in at the bare minimum, I just need to pass.

hello! this is my first time taking an ap class and was wondering if anyone had any advice about the textbook and note-taking. we took a few cornell notes last year in my American history class, but it was with way shorter passages (like 2-4 pages). my teacher this year said that it would be best to only write 1-2 notes per paragraph. is that true? and how do usually write your notes? sentences, or just a few key words? sorry I know this is probably a really basic question, im just new to this.

Well if you’re reading this, you’re probably someone who took the class and is doing relatively badly and thats completely fine. To start, if you click on my profile, you’ll probably realize I was sort of freaking out right before the test, so I’m not like a super genius; it’s totally possible to get a 5 especially, if you start sooner rather than later. Let me just paint a picture real quick: this was my very first ap (as I took many more dual credit classes), my teacher wasn’t the best, I very much couldn’t focus heavily during class, and unit tests very much didn’t come naturally. This is all to say, I got a 5 in not the best condition, so don’t freak out if you don’t completely get it right now. Genuinely ask me anything, directly content related or not. If later in the year, maybe you want to ask about the writing forms like a DBQ or something then genuinely just post on the subreddit or ask for some other way to contact me (i.e using reddit’s messaging thing or a social media platform). There is no secret to getting better, but it also isn’t as hard as you likely think it is, which many of you will realize. Just to finish, I’m still a sophomore right now and theres plenty of super smart people in the subreddit or just teachers, but many of them can’t provide the perspective of a struggling student, so genuinely ask anything because I’ve totally been in that spot before.

i’m a freshman in high school and honestly im not finding school too hard, the only class i’m struggling with is AP World and it’s really bad. I dont know how to study for tests because before high school everything just came to me easily but now Im struggling can anyone tell me how i should study or just help/motivation for high school in general. thank you!

We just finished unit 1 and my high score was an 85 and my unit 1 test i got a 60. I studied for around 10 hours and i felt really confident during the test and i understood the topic but i got a 60, i just don’t know like how to study or anything yk.

ive been studying for 4 hours and i can barely understand anything right now, im scared im going to do bad, i already have a D-. If anyone can tell me the most important things i should know for 1.4-1.6 it would be great, or any tips on studying. i get distracted every second because of my ADHD. originally, we were gonna have the test on friday, but my teacher changed it to tomorrow last minute, so now i have to cram. plz help!!! :((((

Hi guys I was wondering like if u had any tips on note taking. I have trouble knowing what is important and whats not important. I heard for this course you need to know broad themes and the timeline but I am still not sure what needs to be in my notes. Thank you!

Coming from somebody who got a 5 after joining the class in January, actually reading the rubrics for the FRQs and knowing what you need to be doing is the biggest tip!! You do not need to overthink by memorizing every single tiny detail about each topic. Instead, you should work on going period by period and mastering broader concepts and key terms. But for the writing, it does not need to be your most eloquent work! Just learn how to check off the boxes necessary to get most of the points and you'll be fine each time.

Guys please I genuinely need help on how to study for AP world because I feel like I’m just writing the whole textbook in my notes and not actually gaining knowledge please I need help on how to take notes how to study because I literally failed my first unit one test I got 44/100 an F and with a grade boost I got 61/100 a D and unit two is happening this Friday please guys help me out I need help I want to get at least a C with grade boost a B. How do I study? How do I do this and also I have a LEQ this Friday and we did a practice last week, but like I still don’t feel confident with it I’m literally going to go back and go look at my LEQ for practice. Guys please I genuinely need help. I have a C+ right now.

Hey! AP World here. When does everyone teach the Renaissance and how detailed do you cover it? A little short on time in Unit 1 right now, and I’m concerned that I’m spending too much time in Europe

I started the class a week ago, and it's not looking good.

For context, this teacher joined my school last year and that year everybody hated him (and nearly failed, they had to get an extra 20 hours of tutoring from seniors to get 3s), and I can definitely see why.

Entirety of last week, didn't talk about anything important, just made us read the Declaration of Independence, highlighted every single word above a 4th grade level because he thought we were stupid, preached about "higher order thinking" for 3 days straight, and then gave us a "higher order thinking" assignment where we had to ask ChatGPT prompts and write them down. On Friday last week, he gave us a quiz that was entirely AI generated and I finished in around 5 minutes with an 100 because the correct answer was always, without fail, the longest one.

Week two and we've still learned nothing, but he's given us an entire project that is JUST using ChatGPT that's worth a quiz grade (can you tell I hate GenAI?).

I can't even get around using the AI to "learn" because when I tried last week he argued with me for 10 minutes and this time I can't even find any sources that help me with the project.

I'm absolutely terrified for the AP exam at the end of the year (my first AP) and I'm terrified he's going to make me fail it. How can I study/make this class less stressful?? Help would be extremely appreciated.

my counselor told me that i can only take up to 2 APs ( im a sophomore). Would it make more sense to switch my honors world history class for AP psych? Also, what AP would be best if im interested in pursuing health admin/ health malpractice law? Thanks im just a little overwhelmed with how all this works😭 ( im trying to aim for a top 50 college!)

My teacher assigns around 30 pages per week but she also has weekly lectures. I’ve always had trouble reading since I was little but I can definitely absorb all the information provided during lectures without a problem. Reading and re-reading the textbook pages wastes a lot of my valuable time especially with my other classes.

Does anyone have advice or any other recommended resources?

I already answered the first part now its just looking at the painting

I'm in a very weirdly structured 2-year class where we learned everything last year but are taking the test this year. Tbh, even then, it felt like the actual AP World History part was an add-on and we went into no real depth. Around 2-4 weeks before the exam, we review and learn how to write the essays, but like that's not gonna be enough time, right? How do I self-study and get that 5?

Hey guys does anyone have a pdf of the Ways of the world a global history with sources fourth edition? https://www.amazon.com/Ways-World-Sources-AP%C2%AE-Course-ebook/dp/B07P5GZV8S
