-SAT Subject Test in World History
Is offered in June. You will probably do well on it, as the subject matter is the same as the AP exam. The SAT II (also known as the SAT subject test) is all multiple choice, 95 questions in 60 minutes, so if you are particularly good at fast-paced multiple choice, this might be good for you. It is somewhat redundant for your transcript, but especially if this is one if your strongest subjects, it might help your SAT total score.

-Tutoring
Mr. Trainor is hosting free AP World tutoring Wednesday afternoons Fall 2015, 3:40-4:40 in room 333. Mr. Trainor has a lot of experience teaching AP World and is a great resource both for essay writing and content. Just show up any week.

If you need to email me (and please ask a classmate first!), I check mrbermanstuy @ gmail.com more often than my DOE email.

-My favorite map

Why? Well, it's a pretty balanced perspective. And it has no pesky political boundaries that change over time. If you're going to copy a map in your effort to get to know geography, it's a pretty good one.
