<p>So, how far are you guys on these classes?</p>
<p>In AP Euro we're studying Russia (Russian Revolution, Lenin, Stalin), and after that were gonna get started with WWI</p>
<p>In AP World were on ch. 31 of the Traditions & Encounters book (which I REALLY hate), on the Americas and the age of independence.</p>
<p>in my AP world class we use The Heritage of World Civilizations which is a new book for us this year. but we just finished social darwinsism and nietzsche.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of self-studying for AP World next year. Is there a lot of memorization of dates, or is it more of knowing what happened and approximately when it happened?</p>
<p>^^ Im taking the class right now, and so far there seems to be alot more global context and linking events together globally than raw date memorization, but I havent taken the test yet, so..</p>
<p>Since it is a global course, and you have to cover 5,000 years of world history, you can't really get into detail, and you don't really need to know the dates (although if you know some and throw them into an essay it might look good).</p>
<p>in my AP Euro class we just finished italian and german unification, but we've been on spring break for the last two weeks now, so naturally we are most likely a little behind others.</p>
<p>im in AP Euro, we just finished WWI and are getting on to the 1920's with all that Art/Music/depression stuff</p>
<p>right before we started our spring break, we were entering into wwi and why the schlieffen plan sucked so much.</p>
<p>Oh that's really good. Apart from that, would you say that the exam seems easy enough?</p>
<p>WWII in AP Euro (just finished interwar) </p>
<p>Imperialism in AP World</p>
<p>AP Euro --- Age of Anxiety (Almost at WWII)</p>
<p>in my class we are into WWI
we still gotta go thru Russian Revolution, Age of Anxiety, and WW II !!!</p>
<p>ap world ----WWII and communism in CHina</p>
<p>in my ap european history class, we are on world war one as well
but this is a message to people that want to get a 5:
don't follow the class, read ahead, so you'll have more time to review before the ap exam</p>
<p>What are some good review books for the AP world history exam, is the "Barrons - How to prepare for the AP world history exam" a good one?</p>
<p>In APWH, we just finished WWII.</p>
<p>In Euro, we Are doing Russia stuff (we are doing it after WW1)</p>
<p>Is barron's/PR enough for essays? I have only done DBQs, so i'm prolly in trouble.</p>
<p>What would you say is the breakdown of raw scores for the M.C. on these two exams (i.e. for 3, 4, and 5)?</p>
<p>I heard that it is </p>
<p>you know -.25 for every you got wrong or whatever. Take that score, multiply by 1.125 and add the FRQ grades (2.7x for each of them.... received a 5 (5*2.7) = 13.5 and a 4.5x for your DBQ. </p>
<p>I heard the range is 80-99 (total pts) is a 3, 100-119 is a 4, 120+ is a 5. I heard that the ranges were much wider from someone at my school today. He said that a 3 started at like 65 which I find hard to believe. </p>
<p>I'm not really sure about any of that so take it with a grain of salt.</p>
