Ask an Expert, Part 1 - Best way to earn the CONTEXTUALIZATION point

Author Tony Maccarella jumped on a video call with Sherpa Learning’s David Nazarian to answer questions about the AP World History Modern exam. In Part 1, David asks Tony about the Contextualization point—what it is and how best to earn that point on the AP exam.

Tony literally wrote the book (several of them, actually - shown below) on how to write a DBQ response. Wanna know more about what makes him an expert? Check out his full bio here.

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.
