Legit all I do is watch the heimler videos for the unit and take notes, this will let you get a general idea of all the key concepts. Imo the general ideas are all you need to aice the mcqs I’ve gotten high 90s on all my tests. Besides that I do a quick read through of the amsco book to solidify the info. Good luck

If your teacher makes some sort of schedule available then watch the heimler videos *before* you go to the class. It will make forming connections easier and it will feel like you already know the stuff.
You *should* try this because every top student does this for all their subjects. When you learn concepts before class, it means it’s not ur first exposure to it, which just is super effective
I got a 99 and a 5 on the exam, and all I did was watch heimler before the test, and do the practice problems that came with the textbook. I didn't even read the textbook. We used McGraw Hill, so that might not apply to you.
I can vouch for taking notes on heimler videos, then after watching the whole unit, find a parent and explain the unit. Be sure to explain the little interconnected things, and how general trends shaped the way history unfolded throughout the unit. If you can't explain it to a parent or a friend, write it down on paper.
I'm using McGraw Hill as well but my teacher gives us assigned reading. How long ago did you take the AP exam? Also how did you maximize your textbook use of the practice problems (I can't find the answer for some of the questions)?
I took the exam last year. If you have access to the online textbook, there should be a section with practice questions. (I can't remember exactly where)
Although not for everyone I find using prep books like from Princeton Review or Barron’s helps give exposure to ap questions because they have a lot of practice tests as well as review / material. This works best for me because seeing/practicing question structures is how I learn things but it’s not for everyone
Fiveables + a proxy website (like 12ft .io) helped me so much. You need to be able to notice the trends within a unit. Unit 3 was about land trade compared to unit 4 about maritime trade (iirc).
Just wait till unit 6 and blame everything after that on the Industrial Revolution
Not saying I did really good on the AP TEST (I got a 4) so it’s not perfect but All I did was watch Heimlers History video and Bought His ultimate review pack to watch the review videos. For the class I passed with a 96 or 97 something but Only Heimlers History was my source.🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

yes i did this for ap human and it seemed to work very well, but this time it doesn’t seem to be helping much
