    HOW TO BEGIN 1. Take Practice Test 1 Before you can decide how to use this book, you need to take a practice test. Doing so will give you insight into your strengths and weaknesses, and the test will also help you make an effective study plan. If you're feeling test-phobic, remind yourself that a practice test is a tool for diagnosing yourself—it’s not how well you do that matters, but how you use information gleaned from your performance to guide your preparation. So, before you read further, take Practice Test 1 starting at this page of this book. Be sure to do so in one sitting, following the instructions that appear before the test. 2. Check Your Answers Using the Diagnostic Answer Key on this page, follow our three-step process to identify your strengths and weaknesses with regard to the tested topics. This will help you determine which content review chapters to prioritize when studying this book. Don’t worry about the explanations for now, and don’t worry about missed questions. We’ll get to that soon. 3. Reflect on the Test After you take your first test, respond to the following questions: * How much time did you spend on the multiple-choice questions? * How much time did you spend on the short answers and essays? * How many multiple-choice questions did you miss?

Bonus Tips and Tricks... Check us out on YouTube for test-taking tips and tricks to help you ace your next exam at youtube.com/ThePrincetonReview 4. Read Part III of This Book and Complete the Self-Evaluation Part III will provide information about how the test is structured and scored. It will also set out areas of content that are tested. As you read Part III, reevaluate your answers to the questions above. At the end of Part III, you will revisit and refine the questions you answered above. You will then be able to make a study plan, based on your needs and time available, that will allow you to use this book most effectively. 5. Engage with Parts IV and V as Needed Notice the word engage. You’ll get more out of this book if you use it intentionally than if you read it passively, hoping for an improved score through osmosis. Strategy chapters will help you think about your approach to the question types on this exam. Part IV will open with a reminder to think about how you approach questions now and then close with a reflection T= StudyXY

    section asking you to think about how or whether you will change your approach in the future. The content chapters in Part V are designed to provide a review of the content tested on the AP World History: Modern Exam, including the level of detail you need to know and how the content is tested. You will have the opportunity to assess your knowledge of the content of each chapter through test-appropriate drill questions. 6. Take Another Test and Assess Your Performance Once you feel you have developed the strategies you need and gained the knowledge you lacked, you should take Practice Test 2, which starts on this page. You should do so in one sitting, following the instructions at the beginning of the test. When you are done, check your answers to the multiple-choice sections. Ask a teacher to read your essays and provide feedback. Once you have taken the test, reflect on the areas on which you still need to work, and revisit the chapters in this book that address those deficiencies. Then, try your hand at online Practice Test A to track your progress and see where you still need improvement. Through this type of reflection and engagement, you will continue to improve.
