Sometimes Overlooked...

I don't know how many of you have used the Bentley text's online website, but it's a great resource that provides a nice summary of all the chapters. I've been using it to jog my memory from those chapters we covered earlier this year.

Abhishek, I think a forum format might be better for our purposes here. One of the problems I saw with the official blog format was that comments aren't treated very seriously. If we wish to foster more open discussion, a forum-style site would work just a bit better, à mon avis.

Welcome to the new AP World blog!

I know we only have a week left before the test, but this blog will help us to study and review for the big test. What might help is not to post things relevant to what we're learning in class now, but things we may have forgotten. Or, post possible test questions. There's only about a week left, so try to use the blog to its maximum potential, and I'm sure it'll really pay off once test day rolls around. Good luck, everyone!
