Make sure to start working on the World War One project early so that you can go to him for help and get a 100. Do the flashcards as they are assigned, IF YOU LEAVE THEM TO THE LAST MINUTE YOU WILL BE DOOMED.

Study, study, study, study, study, study, study, study. AP World is NOT easy. Study as much as you can, and review all the time, and you will do well.

Barbour is an EXCELLENT AP World teacher. I would definitely say hes the best teacher I've ever had for Social Studies in general. His class is hard, but I learned tons and his teachings helped me get a 5 on the AP, a 100 on the Global Regents, and an 800 on the World History Subject SAT.
