Thoughts? I thought is was pretty easy as a whole. Did essays 4 and 6.</p>
Thought it was easy as well. I did essays 4 and 5. The DBQ was SO awesome!!! Really, couldn’t have asked for anything better (well, maybe Scientific Revolution) would’ve been better, but I love the topic it was on.</p>
The DBQ was amazing, sooo easy. I did 4 and 5 as well, kinda BSed my way through the English Civil War. I thought multiple choice was pretty hard though. I think I got like a 3.</p>
Yeah, I loved the DBQ. Lots of outside information, documents were easy, happened to love that particular…topic-person-thing.
I was really thorough on number 4, but eek number 5! What on earth was there to talk about? I just rambled on about middle-class ideals influencing society and threw in some facts about Thomas Cook, the Bon Marche department store, and dwindled away on imperialism. Honestly, what was there to say?</p>
Lol I guarantee you my FRQs were wayyyy worse.</p>
multiple choice was very hard i thought, i didn’t recognize alot of the people at all, the dbq was very easy though i was happy for the free response i picked 2 and 6 they were the only ones i thought i could actually write a whole essay on.</p>
What are you talking about!? Did we take the same test?</p>
Hahaha, I didn’t study as much this year as I did last year for APUSH, but I studied pretty dang hard! And I thought it was quite difficult. The MC was okay; not too easy, and not too hard. But I really didn’t like that DBQ! It was just annoying saying, “This person’s opinion is valid because…” over and over and over. It would’ve been more interesting maybe if it was a better topic. </p>
And what’s with the lack of Renaissance/Humanism essay prompts? I studied those so much. I literally had the exact learned terminology from my review book in my head for those movements, AND specific paintings/names of artists! Ugh! </p>
I chose essays 3 and 5 (Romanticism vs. Enlightenment and how Industrialism & Imperialism influenced consumer culture).</p>
Does anyone know if it’s bad that I mentioned a rococo painting when describing Romanticism? (About 20 years off…) And that I mentioned iron being a main resource during the Second IR?</p>
Oh wait, I just looked it up and apparently Romanticism started “in the second half of the 18th century”…so maybe I’m fine? The painting was from 1766 and looks a lot like “romantic” paintings. I mean, rococo and romantic are pretty similar and have potential to overlap, right?</p>
I thought the multiple choice was quite hard, harder than the 2 released exams we did in class. The DBQ was fine; I knew literally <em>nothing</em> about it for outside information but I don’t think you really need outside information for the Euro DBQ (APUSH is a different story)… so I did fine. I thought the Part B prompts were muuuch easier than the Part C prompts. I did really well on number 4 and did pretty well on number 6. I expect a 5, if not then definitely a 4.</p>
Overall, it went much better than expected, especially with essay 4.</p>
I thought multiple choice was pretty average in difficulty. Absolutely loved the DBQ, so easy to analyze the documents plus I did my term paper on Mary Queen of Scots this year (who was really involved with the person in the DBQ). I spent all of my time on the DBQ because I know I’d flop on the FRQs. I chose prompts 4 and 5 and BS’d both of them. (*** is imperialism?) I was pretty surprised that there were no renaissance/humanism topics to write about, considering how obsessed the College Board is with it. Never taking another AP class again though.</p>
The DBQ was about the easiest I’ve ever written, my FRQs were ehhh, ohh, I picked 4 and 7, and ended up using an unequal amount of material for both essays, totally one-sided, but the words were on the paper, so hey. The multiple choice was so much harder than any practice test I’ve ever taken. Easy 3, possible 4.</p>
crap is it bad that for #4 i put the king as james II even though it was charles I…everything else was good except that…AM I SCREWED???</p>
It’s a minor content error, it doesn’t show you lack knowledge of tge backimg themes, so you’re fine. And my stratospheric-IQ best friend is in the same boat as you, except he put Charles II and compared him to his father.</p>
I did essays 4 and 7. Compared to some of the previous FRQs, this years was extremely easy. I think they did it to balance out the difficult MC (in my opinion). I always somewhat BSed my way through the english revolution. 7 was a really short essay though. I put the EU, NATO, EEC, ESC? (European steel and coal something, but I forgot so I put A for association).</p>
Did anyone else do FRQ 5? I still can’t think of what I was supposed to write about. Honestly, how on earth did imperialism impact consumer culture?! The African colonies were supposedly economic failures, and nothing much was said about Asian colonies… I expect a 4 for that essay, at best :(</p>
Imperialism influenced consumerism because nations with colonies in Africa imported gold and diamonds, which were sold to consumers as jewelry. Nations with colonies in Asia imported spices and tea, of which the most notable consumer was England.</p>
^Yeah, well then I failed on that essay. Princeton Review never mentioned any of that…</p>
rennir i put exactly the same thing for #7 , i even went on to say that england doesn’t want to be part of the EU etc… (As a sidenote)
on the english rev, i just talked about the roundheads vs the cavaliers and how cromwell took over.</p>
I vaguely BSd the part about the English Civil Wars since I forgot which group supported what and whom.</p>
for 7 i put nato, and its counterpart warsaw pact which i just realized has nothing to do with western europe ■■■. is that bad??? also i put eu</p>
