    you get a certain type of question wrong more than once, you probably need to review it. If you get it wrong only once, you may have run out of time or been distracted by something. In either case, reviewing your practice test results will allow you to focus on the factors that caused the discrepancy in scores and to be as prepared as possible on the day of the test. Head over to your Student Tools, our online hub for additional resources, to download your additional practice test. Follow the instructions on the Get More (Free) Content page at the beginning of this book to access this content and more! You may choose to use some parts of this book over others, or you may work through the entire book. The ways in which you use this book will depend on your needs and how much time you have. Now let’s look at how to make this determination. 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.

Part IV will open with a reminder to think about how you approach questions now and then close with a reflection 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.

    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.

    (B) Both France and England moved toward stronger parliamentary systems. (C) Catholic influence in France subsided. (D) The English monarchy was severely weakened. Questions 5-8 refer to the passage below. The people are Idolaters; and since they were conquered by the Great Kaan they use paper-money. Both men and women are fair and comely, and for the most part clothe themselves in silk, so vast is the supply of that material, both from the whole district of Kinsay, and from the imports by traders from other provinces. And you must know they eat every kind of flesh, even that of dogs and other unclean beasts, which nothing would induce a Christian to eat. Since the Great Kaan occupied the city he has ordained that each of the 12,000 bridges should be provided with a guard of ten men, in case of any disturbance, or of any being so rash as to plot treason or insurrection against him. Each guard is provided with a hollow instrument of wood and with a metal basin, and with a time-keeper to enable them to know the hour of the day or night. And so when one hour of the night is past the sentry strikes one on the wooden instrument and on the basin, so that the whole quarter of the city is made aware that one hour of the night is gone. At the second hour he gives two strokes, and so on, keeping always wide awake and on the look out. In the morning again, from the sunrise, they begin to count anew, and strike one hour as they did in the night, and so on hour after hour. The Glories Of Kinsay [Hangchow], Marco Polo, c. 1300
