<p>The Cold War? Well, there was a recent DBQ about how well the government dealt with the Red Scare, and that goes along with the Cold War, so would they really do something so similar again?
My teacher thought it may be something about Indians. There has not been anything about that recently, and it's something still going on today.</p>
<p>My teacher said it might be about women and their social aspects, but she's not sure which time period. She thinks it's going to be about women because the committee that is creating the DBQ consists of female historians whose focus is on women. My teacher actually predicted correctly last years DBQ so I'm going to trust her.</p>
<p>i dont think that they would focus in on a minority, it would make more sense if they picked a period in whcih the rise of women was evident... teachers in my county come together ea. year and they have been right for years... i think the gilded age... i mean afterall it spans like a good five chapters in amsco....</p>
<p>To calm some nerves, this is from the College Board website:
"Whereas the multiple-choice section may include a few questions on teh period since 1980, neither the DBQ nor any of the four essay questions in Parts B and C will deal exclusively with this period."</p>
<p>Is anyone else here taking the late exam for history?</p>
<p>Last year's DBQ was a shocker, but I pulled out 4 pages of written text anyways. Also, Louisiana Purchase hasn't been discussed in a long time, so look for that too.</p>
<p>bump :] any more predictions for fr questions?</p>
<p>Somewhat unrelated about DBQs.</p>
<p>It's a good thing they don't release the time period any more. CB did a study and it showed the time period release resulted in lower scores, which is why they stopped releasing the time period for US.</p>
<p>oh, so they used to release time period?
why did they stop.....</p>
<p>i bet something on immigration.</p>
<p>i'm predicting reconstruction, but that's only because i predicted that for last year and it was french and indian war. it's okay, i still did fine thanks to the fire alarm going off RIGHT after the 15 minute mandatory reading period :) :) :)</p>
<p>bump!! as it is one week before the ap ush test.. </p>
<p>i know teachers out there are guessing dbq's/ fr's.
Please post some thoughts!</p>
<p>I'd guess Reconstruction or something about the antebellum reform movements in the Northeast.</p>
<p>I think one thing to do is look back on the most recent DQ's, so for instance last year's 2004 French and Indian one takes out the pre revolution period at least. I know the 2001 was on the Cold War, what about the other 2000 ones?</p>
<p>I have a sneaking suspicion the AP test makers like to pick a DBQ that is somehow relevant to current events. For example during the whole build up to the Iraq war the Euro question was on the legitimacy or lack thereof of questioning the war effort in Germany during WWI. I wouldn't be suprised to see a question on immigration in this years APUSH due to the recent controversy with the Minutemen Project along the mexican border.</p>
<p>i dont think iraq is going to be on it.</p>
<p>There was one fairly recently (a few years back, maybe 5?) about labor unions, so you can probably mark that off the list of possibilities. Everybody from my school bombed it because my teacher hates labor union history and didn't cover it much at all.</p>

<p>oh, AP us. good times. I'd kill to take that again instead of euro this year.</p>
<p>anyways...</p>
<p>the DBQ was french and indian war, which I thought was exquisite because I knew everything about it. and the other ones were a choice between slaves' and womens' changing societal roles from the colonial period to the civil war and compromises through the years 1800-50, and then either something about communism in various places (bay of pigs, berlin air lift) or I forget the other choice... but they are divided in time intervals, like one set is pre-1860 and one is post-1860</p>
<p>good luck kiddos</p>
<p>2002 was the last yr they gave the thing away.</p>
<p>2003: OMFG my APUSH teacher SO PREDICTED IT. Actually all of our APUSH teachers predicted it because Great Depression hadn't been done in SO MANY years.</p>
<p>2004: No one could've predicted that one, but it was easy as crap. Use your 8th grade history and you could've aced this one.</p>
<p>"2002: Reform Movements, 1825-1850"</p>
<p>Oops...color me stupid; I forgot that topic was on the test so recently.</p>
