AP World History Test information

The test on Wednesday nominally covers chapters 23-28.  Chapter 23, 24 and 25 were blended together into the powerpoints that I shared on line (see an earlier post) and the class notes from the last week in February, first few days of March.  It seems that if you download the PPT files onto your computer you will be able to hear them. You read the start of 26, but we never discussed details of Africa's political systems, nor did we discuss from the ending of the Slave trade through the beginning of Chapter 27 (Ming and Qing China).  Conversely, we discussed Tokugawa Japan, but you didn't read much of it.  You read about the Islamic rulers in Chapter 28, and we discussed them briefly (chart of leaders activity), and we talked over the Imperial Islamic Society information.

So my recommendation is that you rely on the notes you took in class, but know that the book will help you out if your notes feel spotty/incomplete (or are just incomprehensible).

The test will consist of multiple choice questions (between 30 and 40) and connections between items that will ask you to articulate cause and effect (how does one lead to or foster the other.)  Remember that the ordering of the terms is not limited to how they are listed on the test!
