What are these accusations based off of?</p>
2010 form B had a progressivism question, so I doubt this year will have one…</p>
Honestly, I don’t feel that stressed out for the DBQ. I’m highly capably of flat-out ********ting the entire essay. That will earn me a decent grade. Honestly, my goal for the AP exam is a 3. However, it would be a tremendous relief knowing that one these topics that I’m about to re-learn will be the DBQ. </p>
As for the FRQ, I have no confidence. It’s either I know it, or I don’t.</p>
The Progressivism question from 2010 Form B was only an FRQ though, it hasn’t popped up in DBQ’s for a while.</p>
That’s the thing that worries me about the FRQ. If you know the subject, awesome. If you don’t, you’re screwed.</p>
Also, wasn’t there a recent DBQ on Progressivism? Or at least it was one of them?</p>
Exactly aaaaghhhhh</p>
OK found it, Progressivism was the subject of the 2003 DBQ:</p>

The same teacher who accurately guessed the DBQ for last year, Puritanism, has stated that this year he thinks it will be on american indians after the civil war</p>
I feel pretty confident for the multiple-choice section. I’m just going to refresh my memory on the possible DBQs. Thanks for the help everyone.</p>
Well damn.
I only hope that it isn’t anything as random as “Republican Motherhood” like the 2006 one. We took that one as a practice test and I totally BS’d the whole essay. Still managed to make it sound halfway decent though. :)</p>
My APUSH teacher likes to talk about how he correctly guessed the 2007 DBQ, 1865-1900 agriculture, but… seriously, guessing the DBQs are a crapshoot. They could pull anything.</p>
im trying to think of topics that I feel confidently about and…nothing. I’m screwed for the FRQ, at least the DBQ has documents for me to reference.</p>
^^true. </p>
I feel civil war is too obvious.
I’m betting reconstruction or progressivism.</p>
Actually, at my school there’s this guy whose dad has correctly guessed the DBQ topic 9 times out of the last 10 years. He was wrong like 6 years ago.</p>
I’m pretty much set on everything but colonialism and stuff after the Eisenhower years.</p>
no offense Just Smile, but I think we all know “someone” who accurately predicts the correct topic.</p>
thought i’d share this (if someone hasn’t already)
it’s messed up as a pdf but it works fine if you download it as a .doc

my teacher also thinks that a really good prompt would be to compare/contrast the south during the civil war and the colonies during the revolution. (im not saying its a prediction though)</p>
im not particularly worried about the dbq because you have the documents to remind you of evidence and i can usually use analysis to fluff for content enough to get a decent score.</p>
Well the fact that he’s done it for the past 10 years and was right 90% of the time is pretty impressive. And it’s not just blind guessing, he actually has a method to it. He looks at all the past FRQs/DBQs and everything.</p>
2003 DBQ was progressive. I’m leaning toward Gilded Age <------- never been done</p>
“im not particularly worried about the dbq because you have the documents to remind you of evidence and i can usually use analysis to fluff for content enough to get a decent score”.</p>
I feel the same way as you. The hardest part are going to be part B and C. The DBQ itself should be a walk in the park as long as you know the outside information.</p>
