AP European History Study Guide Chapter 15
AP European History Study Guide Chapter 15
This study guide is to help you get ready for the test. Some of the information asked is found in the notes, and some in the textbook. This is typical of MOST college classes and this style of study guide is designed to prepare you! Also, while most test questions come from this guide, anything in the notes and textbook could be on the test!
You MUST do this study guide for points! You may NOT type this study guide out! You also MUST do the practice for the essay questions. Write the answers in YOUR OWN WORDS. This will help you to remember and understand the material. To receive full credit, you must do all parts of the question, not just the first basic question.
This test WILL have a free response question (essay). This time, I am not giving the prompts, but you still must BRAINSTORM for the essay (instead of outlining).
