Material Advice:
Ways of the World -Robert W. Strayer
World History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination, 2018 Edition -AMSCO
General Advice:
The course cover the entire time period from when humans began creating societies to the most recent history. Sometimes, test include very specific information, so after taking notes, I recommend reading over them and the textbook a few times to absorb the information and memorize the important main ideas of each paragraph or section. The teachers allow you to use your notes for most of your quizzes in the beginning of the year, so take detailed notes that can give you information and reference material helpful for your quizzes. The AMSCO textbook tends to summarize more than the Strayer textbook, so it is more helpful for reviewing the focal points of each unit. However, for specific and detailed notes, Strayer is a better choice as it contains more detail.
