Not really applicable any more since our school switched from AP Euro (what I had taken) to AP World -- from my experience, though, always review notes after writing them for homework. Go over class notes and elaborate on them, and work out basic mind maps to get the general framework for eras/etc. Definitely write down important dates and make flashcards/quizlets for them!! They will save your life more than once (especially for essays).

Austin is an amazing teacher; she's always available to help and wants to make sure you understand the material. Communicate, though -- if you don't tell her what you need, there's a good chance you may not get it for a specific topic if you take an AP class due to the fast pacing of it.
