Is AP World History: Modern a good fit for high school students in Grades 9-12?
AP World History: Modern is a good fit for students in grades 9-12 who are interested in global history since 1200 and historical source analysis. CIT offers online or in-person lessons in Apgujeong, Gangnam, Seoul, in one-to-one or small-group formats. Students make unit-by-unit written practice answers with scoring notes and rewritten answers with stronger evidence and reasoning.
AP World History: Modern follows world history from about 1200 to the present through nine official units: networks of exchange, land-based and transoceanic empires, revolutions and industrialization, the world wars and the Cold War, and globalization. The starting unit comes from a short diagnostic of school progress and the time left before the exam, and each unit is practiced with questions and written answers whose weak evidence and reasoning are then revised. Alongside the score, the student builds the academic evidence an application can use: how they applied a core idea, why an answer failed, and how they revised it.
