Book Reviews of AP World History Flash Cards
Book Review: Teacher Recommended!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have taught AP World History since the program began in 2002 - actually even longer than that since I worked on launching the program for a couple years prior to that. As a teacher, I've also been trained to be a bit skeptical about rote, 'drill and kill' learning strategies, but, on the other hand, I believe in results. I have found that the flashcards are a useful study tool, and perhaps most importantly, they seem to be most effective for students who are struggling to pass the exam with a 3. In many cases, it is my opinion that the bright students who easily score 5s can do so even with a standard textbook and a mediocre study guide - and either no teacher or a poor teacher. The challenge comes with students who are not the academically gifted ones - the students who are challenging themselves by enrolling in an Advanced Placement class. These are precisely the kind of students who need help and can benefit the most from flashcards. I have seen several students who I expected to earn 2s earn 3s and even 4s after using flashcards. I have even had several surprising 5s from students who I expected to earn 3s or 4s.
A couple other points...First, these are not flashcards with a question on one side and the answer on the other. The format is to list a concept, event, or vocabulary word on one side and then list all the relevant information about it on the other side. At first I was somewhat disappointed in this format, but after seeing students use them, the format seems to work better than the question-answer format. Second, if you think flashcards might help you, I recommend that you buy them early in the year so you can benefit from the practice all year long rather than just cramming for the exam at the end.
Summary of AP World History Flash Cards
