AP World History at Free-Ed.Net

You are now looking at a complete exam preparation program for college-credit World History. It is a 3-step program, and it would be nice to say it is as simple as 1-2-3 ... but it isn't. It is really hard work; however the potential payoff is immeasurable.
Begin by reviewing the three steps shown in the middle part of the page. Set up a Learning Journal for recording your notes and thoughts through the entire learning process.
When you are ready to get down to serious work, do the steps in order. You can probably complete Step 1 in an evening. Step 2 will take maybe a week or so, depending on how much time you can commit to the project. Step 3 is the heart of the program. You will complete this work to the level of competency you choose for yourself, but we have never seen anyone complete the work satisfactorily in less then six months.
