2010 AP United States History Discussion

<p>@nuclearpirate99, Roger Williams was a proponent of freedom of religion AND separation of state AHH i’m so screwed for tomorrow. I guess a 4 wouldn’t be the WORST thing in the world lol stupid overachievingness. I decided a few weeks ago that I would be okay with a 4 since I got a 5 on Euro but I decided TODAY to change that… yea… a little late for raising my standards :P.</p>

<p>how much have you guys been studying for this? i justtt started cramming tonight >.<</p>

<p>Casablanca Conference - “unconditional surrender” or you will be screwed
Tehran Conference - Create 2nd front (Stalin is like *** I told you to create one before)
Yalta Conference - so what’s going to happen after war, peeps?
Potsdam Conference - Atom bomb Japan</p>

<p>How does ARCO compare to the real AP?</p>

<p>I did so much better on the practice tests than I did on the diagnostic…</p>

<p>you guys should understand that practice tests in books generally tests you on the material they cover. If they haven’t covered something, it wouldn’t be the smartest for them to test on it. (hey you need to know this but this review book doesn’t talk about it!)</p>

<p>generally you should take practice tests from a multiple number of sources. its actually kind of too late now though…</p>

<p>someone tell me all the acts roosevelt(teddy) passed
i.e. </p>

<p>AAA
NRA
CCC
etc</p>

<p>the ones you listed are part of FDR’s new Deal. Read up on Theo’s New Nationalism:</p>

<p>Pure Food and Drug Act, Meat Inspection Act
Anthracite Coal Strike
Northern Securities CO. law suit.
Hepburn Act.
Newlands Reclamation ACt.</p>

<p>still waiting on Native American movement, Hispanic movement, and cultural/social change in the 50’s and 60’s</p>

<p>after that, I just need to brush up on some Jurassic age dinosaurs like Jacques Cartier and only then will I go to sleep.</p>

<p>So I just learned that good DBQs have to be written with lots of outside information, and I have never incorporated the amount of information required for a high scoring essay, if any at all. Would someone be generous enough to tell me how including the outside information works and if there’s a silver bullet for learning it in 2 hours? The good essays on AP Central are so blended that I can’t tell the difference between outside information and documents, so I’m hoping for a more direct answer. I can get a low 4 on the exam, but a 5 would be nice too.</p>

<p>Anyone know exactly how many documents are necessary to be incorporated in the DBQ? My teacher said all of them but that seems a bit excessive…</p>

<p>ok so theo = things like big stick, rossevelt corrolary, square deal, and what you listed.
and fdr = new deal, 100 days and government reforms to stimulate economy during deppresion?</p>

<p>Teddy also had some conservation stuff in there.</p>

<p>yeah something about conserving forests or something like that.</p>

<p>anyone still awake</p>

<p>Good luck everyone I wanna get this **** over with.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Could anyone answer my question? I’m beginning to feel really insecure with everybody talking about tons of outside information and scores of 5 or less without them ;_;</p>

<p>Just interject outsides facts, really easy to do if you know your time periods really well. I usually add the most outside information in my 1st paragraph and usually have 1-2 sentences per body paragraph w/ outside info.</p>

<p>I would have to tie it in with the documents, right? Like, if I was analyzing that one political cartoon of the fat businessmen singing to Coolidge (which is under Harper’s copyright so I can’t get an actual picture D: ), I would stop and say, “These men were praising Coolidge for his lax regulations of business; for example, he appointed easygoing FTC commissioners.” </p>

<p>Would that be a piece of outside info or would the test grader be told to assume that it was implied in the picture?</p>

<p>where can i read sample essays of a score of 5?</p>

<p>That exam was surprisingly easy.</p>

<p>I think I have a newfound affection for AP history exams.</p>
