For all you kids in AP World History.... I'm in AP European History, and i took the test last week. At the advice of my teacher, i signed up to take the World test as well, even though i'm not in that class, because it has so much European content. I studied a ton last week for Euro, so i have that stuff fresh in my mind, and i have a World History review book. so my question is to you guys, what stuff was talked about most outside of Europe? I was thinking religion and the chinese and middle east civilizations. Help?

sparknotes: taking World History test w/o taking the class, what info do i need apart from European history stuff?

Wow thats gonna be tough. Not much untill the middle ages is about Europe (except Rome and Greece). Lots about Egypt, Nubia, Indus river valley, early chinese civilizations, and early central american civilizations. But once you get to middle ages, rennisance, slave trade, colonization, and the world wars, I would say a majority of that stuff would be covered in European history. But I would check up in other early civilizations, world religions, and maybe stuff about the silk road and cold war, they seemed to get quite a few mentions.

you'll prolly want to know about about the major trade routes: mediterranean, trans-Saharan and silk road. Mesopotamia and Constantinople. Alexander the Great. Also Asian exploration, lots on Chinese history and policies of being sinocentric.
