<p>Is anyone taking AP Art History exam? How are you guys studying for it? </p>
<p>Any suggestions or comments on what/how to study for it, because you know how some teachers are...</p>
<p>haha, that test is going to be the worst. I'm just going to look at all the images in my book and read the descriptions once and I'll see how far I get (not very).</p>
<p>oh that will take FOREVER...is there any "good" review book that i can use to study? </p>
<p>maybe i should worry about art history after the ap spanish and ap stat test (i'll have 1 week to study for it, is that enough?)</p>
<p>I dont think I will study for it, as I learned all of the info I need for MC, and essays are just a test of BSing skills.</p>
<p>Haha. I'm so screwed for this test. Here's what I'm doing:</p>
<ul>
<li>flash cards</li>
<li>study guide</li>
<li>I'll at least skim through the textbook. Reading it seems to be near impossible.</li>
<li>I've bought Barron's. Heard a lot of good things about it.</li>
</ul>
<p>The Annotated Mona Lisa is also supposed to be excellent, but I didn't buy it.</p>
<p>My teacher is a bit unhelpful as well. She's planning for us to be learning til the day before the AP test. So not nice. Her study guides and Q cards (flashcards) have been really helpful though.</p>
<p>Week two Barron's for me.... I need to speed up. It's been good though, I remember most everything from the chapters I've done.
My course provider is paying Florida for the AP review... based on those results I believe I'd score high 3/low 4 with no prep. I've only read about three of the chapters in my actual textbook. Although, I really need a 5.
I'm so nervous, I'm a freshman.... this is my first AP, I don't like the class... I'm the only one in my school in it, and I have to take the test at another school. I'm afraid I'll fail... or get a 3.</p>
<p>The AP Art test is daunting, but don't freak out. It won't help you and, really, as long as you know the information you'll be fine. From what I heard from last year's students at my school, they got 3's without really studying. And no, a 3 is not bad. Supposedly, as long as you review Barron's (consider getting the Annotated Mona Lisa, although I haven't so I can't really give you any concrete feedback on it), you'll pass. :)</p>
<p>thanks guys...my teacher is on a maternity leave so she can't help us at all...we are just on renaissance right now...i think i'll go and buy the barron's review book and hope that i pass the exam....im SO SCREWED! </p>
<p>ppl who have already taken this exam, could u plz tell us what to study for? and how hard/easy the test actually is?</p>
<p>Whoa, wait. You're only on Renaissance? Or was that a typo? Because we covered that way back in January, and we're currently on early 20th century art.</p>

We're finishing 20th today I believe.... Yeah... assuming you're moving according to the usual method... you guys are almost 1/2 the course behind. Renaissance... wow I hope that's just review </p>
<p>of course, check out the info on the Collegeboard site</p>
<p>well idk how hard the real test is, but when I took a mock halfway through the course, I missed a 5 by 2 points</p>
<p>yes, we just finished Renaissance. Unbelievable, right? what else could I do? now that my teacher is gone, i'm gonna have to self-study since there is no one else in my class who is taking everything seriously.</p>
<p>^^ mannerism, rococo, baroque, neoclassical, realism, romanticism, impressionism, post impressionism, modernism (cubism, expressionism, fauvism, etc.) post impressionism</p>
<p>I failed… pretty miserably…</p>
<p>Yeah I feel like I did pretty badly on it too. It’s really hard to tell though because the free response questions can get pretty subjective.</p>
<p>tbh i thought it was easy… frq’s weren’t bad at all either and mc’s were pretty straight forward with the exception of a few… going for a 5 :]</p>
<p>My school does not offer AP Art History, but I am highly interested in taking the test. Since my school is not partnered with a Virtual High School, all of the credited online courses I’ve found are very far out of my budget. Does anyone know any good online courses to take this with?</p>
<p>If not, do I -need- to take a course for this class, or will I be able to get a 4 or 5 with sufficient self-study? (This seems most likely for me due to cost.)</p>
<p>REA, Barrons, and the Annotated Mona Lisa seem like popular choices. Any other books or habits reccommended for self-study?</p>
<p>I’ve never done a class like this on my own before, so any help is appreciated! =]</p>
<p>I realized some time last week that I think I bombed essay 1. Said something about St Lazare at Aucun that is true about Vezelay and only Vezelay and did a lot of other stuff.
So, maybe now I’ll get a 4. And cry. A lot.
There was also that one slide question on the MC, but I guess we can’t talk about those.</p>
<p>Millancad, there’s no need to freak out. Two years ago, I BSed the entire last essay because it was about postmodern works and my teacher didn’t get to cover it in class, I’m pretty sure I missed most of the points on that one, but I still ended up with a 5. so one essay and a couple of MC won’t hurt you that badly.</p>
