Mrs Anderson is a delight! She's really passionate about history and you really feel welcome in her class. AP World can be a difficult course, so make sure to know the content, ie, DO the notes, and UNDERSTAND the content. My biggest piece of advice would be to study the material AS it is being taught and never cram the day before the test. Also, the MC's can be BRUTAL, so make sure to do practice questions before tests. As for the writing, (there's a lot) make sure to practice that too, and you will improve through the year. (Heimler's History is really helpful). Most importantly, don't give up: even if you aren't happy with your results(and you definitely won't at some point in the class), keep trying, ask for help, talk to your classmates, and trust me, you'll get there ;) If this course taught me anything, it taught me about grit, dedication, and hard work in the right direction.. I hope you found this helpful and I wish you good luck on your academic journey..
