Mastering the Essay – AP* European History Edition – Exercise Workbook

On the redesigned AP European History exam, skills matter much more than memorized content. Written responses account for 60% of your final score. A new style of multiple-choice question requires you to quickly and correctly analyze historical documents. Mastering the Essay will equip you with ALL of the tools you need to move confidently through your AP Euro course, and earn a 5 on the exam in May.

Mastering the Essay comes in two parts: an Instructional Handbook and an Exercise Workbook. The Workbook contains over 100 practice exercises designed to strengthen the skills introduced in the Instructional Handbook. Additionally, the Workbook includes three Practice Tests (writing sections only), as well as complete answers and explanations for each and every exercise.

— OVER 100 EXERCISES focused on building essential skills, like thesis development, document analysis, use of supporting evidence, synthesis and contextualization, and analytical transitions

— 30 full-length DOCUMENT-BASED QUESTIONS, written by an expert exam reader and approved by dozens of other exam readers

— COMPLETE ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS for each and every exercise

— All exercise sets are ORGANIZED CHRONOLOGICALLY so you can choose exercises that coordinate with the topics and themes covered in class and in your textbook readings

— Developed by a small business focused exclusively on delivering Advanced Placement resources of the highest quality, not by a conglomerate-owned corporation focused exclusively on the bottom-line
