Book excerpt: Why should students have this book? First, this practice guide was written by three AP World History teachers with over 20 years of experience grading the AP World History Exam--they have seen it all and are sharing their expertise. Secondly, this guide can be used at any point in the school year. Writing prompts cover every era taught in the course and are arranged in an easy-to-follow, chronological order. The writing practice section contains five DBQs, twelve LEQs, and forty-eight SAQs. This guide also has THREE multiple-choice practice tests. The first multiple-choice test covers the first two time periods (1200 to 1750) and is designed to be taken halfway through the course to give students an idea of where they stand. The other two multiple-choice exams cover the entire span of the course (1200 to 2001). All multiple-choice questions and writing prompts are tied to the course curriculum and the answer key features comprehensive explanations and examples of student work. No other prep book offers this much practice material written to AP guidelines.
