MTE for AP World - Revisions and Resources

Mastering the Essay for AP World History

Revisions to Handbook


Just like the new AP World History exam, Mastering the Essay is a living document. As the test evolves, Mastering the Essay evolves. As ETS revises the scoring standards, Sherpa Learning revises MTE.

The video below will walk you through the revisions made to the Handbook after the Summer 2017 course and exam revisions.

Author Video Series

Don't miss out on these helpful videos starring the author of MTE, Tony Maccarella, as he tackles questions posted for him by members of the r/APStudents sub-reddit! The videos were specifically for AP Euro students, but the questions and topics are 100% relevant to AP World (except for maybe the last one).
