Tips for Answering the Multiple-Choice

Tips for Answering the Multiple-Choice

PART 1 - Misconceptions about the MCQ


In this series by Tony Maccarella, author of Mastering the Essay for AP European History, Tony answers questions sent in to him on Reddit. This is the second video of the series. Tony was asked, "Are there any tips or techniques for answering multiple-choice questions on the AP Euro exam?" Tony dives right in by addressing the primary misconception that most students have about the multiple-choice question type on the Advanced Placement exams.

While Tony was specifically addressing AP European History students during this Q&A, these tips apply equally to the redesigned AP World exam, as well.

If you have any AP history questions of your own that you'd like to see Tony answer, feel free to send them to us at hello@sherpalearning.com.
