Mastering the Essay - AP* World History Edition, Instructional Handbook

It took us a while to find out about this one, but I'm glad we did. AP World can be especially intimidating so we needed something that took that edge off and helped us feel confident about this class and inevitable the exam. We ordered several other books (it's slim pickings for AP World) and they were a waste of time. Awful, actually. Even the top-rated stuff. This class is a lot of work, very demanding - so you want to make sure you score high enough on the exam to get the college credit or all that work was somewhat wasted. Anyhow, this book (the handbook, which we had to order on Kindle because there were none in-stock in book form) combined with the exercise workbook, made us feel prepared and able to do well in the class and on the test.
