The signature skill is comparison — between regions, between time periods, between empires — and continuity-and-change reasoning across centuries. LEQs frequently ask students to compare two regions or to trace a change-over-time process; the strongest answers do both within a single essay. ## Where students lose marks - Comparison LEQs that describe two regions in parallel but never compare them explicitly. - DBQ answers that ignore region-specific context. - Thesis statements that re-state the prompt without making a defensible global claim. - Evidence that is regionally lopsided (e.g. only European examples on a global prompt). - Missing complexity points for failing to qualify the comparison. ## How tutoring helps - Diagnostic on chronology and region balance. - Region-by-region content pack — East Asia, South Asia, Middle East/North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, Americas. - Comparison LEQ template — three explicit comparison sentences minimum. - Continuity-and-change drills across the nine units. - DBQ sourcing practice. ## Compared with A Level and IB AP World History overlaps with IB History HL (paper 3 regional topics) and parts of A Level History world-focused options. The AP rubric and the global scope are the main differences. UK applicants to US programmes in international relations, area studies, history, or law commonly present AP World History. ## Who this suits - **Good fit**: Students applying to US programmes in international relations, area studies, history, or pre-law. - **Exam sprint**: Students confident on Europe but thin on East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. - **Approach with caution**: Students with only Western history background — AP World requires real Asia, Africa, and Americas content. ## Weekly study plan - **Weeks 1–3 — Units 1–2: 1200–1450**: Post-classical Asia, African kingdoms, Dar al-Islam, the Mongol Empire, cross-regional networks. - **Weeks 4–6 — Units 3–4: 1450–1750**: Land and maritime empires, the Columbian Exchange, the Atlantic slave trade. - **Weeks 7–9 — Unit 5: 1750–1900**: The Industrial Revolution, revolutions, imperialism. - **Weeks 10–12 — Unit 6: 1750–1900 cont.**: Colonial economies, migration, anti-colonial resistance. - **Weeks 13–15 — Units 7–8: 1900–Present**: The world wars, the Cold War, decolonisation, the global economic order. - **Weeks 16–19 — DBQ Mastery**: Document HIPP analysis, global comparison, integrating outside evidence. - **Weeks 20–22 — LEQ & SAQ Practice**: Comparison and continuity-and-change prompts. - **Weeks 23–28 — Exam Prep Intensive**: Personal Progress Check sets, full-length mocks. ## Frequently asked questions ### How is AP World History different from AP European History? AP Euro is region-locked to Europe (with some global interaction). AP World is globally balanced — Europe is one of six major regions, not the centre. The rubric and FRQ structure are the same. ### Does AP World History cover ancient history? No. The 'Modern' designation means the course starts at roughly 1200 CE. Earlier periods are not on the exam. ### Can I take AP World History after IB History? Yes — many of our IB History HL students do. The content overlap is high; the work is mainly in adjusting to the AP rubric and the comparison-LEQ style. ## Related AP subjects - [AP US History Tuition](https://www.apcourses.net/ap-us-history-tuition) - [AP European History Tuition](https://www.apcourses.net/ap-european-history-tuition) - [AP Human Geography Tuition](https://www.apcourses.net/ap-human-geography-tuition) - [AP Comparative Government and Politics Tuition](https://www.apcourses.net/ap-comparative-government-tuition) ## Contact Free consultation: https://www.apcourses.net/contact All 31 AP subjects: https://www.apcourses.net/ap-tuition Pricing: https://www.apcourses.net/pricing
