anyone have any frq predictions? the dbqs are usually easy to write a whole essay on, since the docs usually help you remember things. But, as for the frqs, you get a sentence or two, and all you can do is think, there’s no information other than what you can remember off the top of your head. So, I’m much more worried about the frqs.</p>
Ohhh, the prediction about Indians after the Civil War sounds…like a DBQ topic.</p>
i wish i was bff’s with the test writers</p>
^hannah, don’t we all? :< Sighhhh.</p>
thats my goal for next year lol</p>
Can someone post a summary of American Indians post-Civil War? I can think of the Dawes Act, Century of Dishonor, and I guess Indian Reorganization Act but that’s about it. And the last thing in my list is about three-quarters of a century after the Civil War. :P</p>
are we supposed to actually say (Doc A) in parathetical citations?</p>
yep! that is how you indicate that the source is being used to the reader.</p>
Can anyone give me their honest opinion on the chances of the FRQs being 20th century??</p>
I am SO not prepared for that, but anything pre 1900, I’m set…</p>
I agree jd989898, before 1920 I am good. Past that…yeah I predict a 1 on the second FRQ. :<</p>
my teacher preidcted something FOR SURE in group 2 of the frq’s would be 1960’s and onwards…</p>
loool and multiple choice section what if they had something like what happened on may 1st, 2011</p>
oh and also my teacher had so much faith in this, that he did NOT teach us anything after 1960 & instead spent that time reteaching us the 1960’s… btw we were done in late march with APUSH</p>
gahh I’m stressing like crazy over here.</p>
And I believe that you can just reference the DOCS as (A) or (B). No need to waste time writing the word Doc.</p>
So should I be pretty safe to be studying the Roaring 20s, Imperialism, Guilded Age, Progressivism, Black+Native Indians, Antebellum Period.</p>
Is there a huge chance that any of the big wars will be an frq/dbq question?</p>
No amount of topics is safe. But I think you’re set. I am super set on the topics you are set on, except I don’t really know Blacks+Native Indians, and I’m super set on the Reconstruction.</p>
No clue about the big wars, but I hope not.</p>
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT WAS NIXON! i was so happy i legitimately almost started crying. all the kids in my test site started cheering. the proctors kept yelling “please, we need you to be quiet!”
what did you guys think of it overall? i thought it wasn’t too bad :)</p>
My teacher actually said that he had a feeling it was going to be 1970s (we all thought he was crazy), the other APUSH teacher at my school said progressivism/Gilded Age. But, the test overall was pretty easy!</p>
Gahh, bloody Nixon. My heart dropped. Think I pulled a 6, though. Completely forgot to mention Sputnik and NASA (were they under Nixon?)</p>
No, Sputnik and NASA were a decade before.</p>
Yes you can! That’s nothing that you should be worrying about. There aren’t even any official rules about it anyways. </p>
You could say: “President Nixon, in his Acceptance Speech to the Republican National Committee…” </p>
That is what I have found online and in my prep book.</p>
So what exactly could you talk about for the domestic issues for Nixon besides watergate? I talked about cutting down oil usage in the U.S. Does that count?</p>
^OPEC Embargo/Energy Crisis, Kent State, Watergate, etc.</p>
