TIPS for SUCCESS:

Tips on how to succeed in AP World History:

1. Read the chapter on the weekend (get up on Saturday before anyone else is awake and read for 2-4 hours without taking notes, then get up early on Sunday and take notes as you__reread__ the chapter)

2. Make sure chapter notes and vocab are complete every week (usually due on Friday).

3. Take the online quizzes on @http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072957549/student_view0/ (choose a chapter and then multiple choice quiz)

4. Form a study group and study for 1-2 hours before a big test.

5. Attend AP World History Tutoring on Thursdays afterschool in Room 416 from 2:50-3:50 pm

6. Be more organized (pay attention to due dates on the AP calendar at http://mshadi.wikispaces.com/AP+Calendar ) and keep a binder where you won't lose assignments)

7. Quiz yourself using the "marginal notes" that highlight key terms, events, and concepts (they are on the side of the chapter narrative, and you can turn them into quiz questions). For example: // The Quran // ...What is the Quran?

Good luck!

Best Regards,

Ms. Hadi
