<p>anyone have an idea of what the FRQ and DBQ might be on tomorrow?</p>
<p>also, from which time period do most of the questions come from? I know that usually there aren't much from 1980s-today.</p>
<p>I have a feeling that atleast one of the questions will be something about Russia and one about women. Hopefully one about the Reformation</p>
<p>I think there is often times something on Russia or women. The AP Achiever specifies these topics as reoccurring themes (not by any means a narrow list):
- Italian Renaissance or Protestant Reformation
- Woman’s or Family History
- Intellectual/Cultural Movements (Enlightenment, Scientific)
- Post-1945
- Commercial or Industrial Revs
- Russia
- Diplomacy 1789-1871</p>
<p>would anyone like to give some few important facts pertaining to each of the topics that kms mentioned?</p>
<p>i’m doing some last minute cramming and taking a few practice tests.</p>
<p>I think my teacher really got it wrong on how to prepare us for the dbq and frq- would anyone mind helping me out?
she basically said that for all of them try to categorize into social/political/economic/religious/technological/blahblah
but this doesn’t seem to be the case when I read rubrics and stuff
and also, for frqs (we haven’t really done them ><) I know you’re supposed to be writing about 5 paragraphs 1 intro 3 main 1 concluding but what about those prompts that have you comparing between two things?</p>
<p>i just took a practice test and got a majority wrong (could end up with 2 or 3), any suggestions for this (besides not taking the test)?</p>
<p>@bionic: uh, pray? XD</p>
<p>No, but since we’re pressed for time, just choose a time period and make sure you know at least that one stone cold. I’d suggest the mid-1700s to mid 1800s, because it straddles the Napoleonic era, and has Englightenment/industrialism/Romanticism/Concert of Europe/liberal revolutions of 1848, all of which seem pretty important as far as the practice tests/class tests I’ve been taking. Unfortunately…MOST OF THAT is my least-known and most-forgotten material. D:</p>
<p>I just took a practice exam… scored 57 (7 omit, 16 wrong; actual score: 53). This is the higher end of average for me. I’m okay at writing DBQs, but I’ve only ever done on FRQ, so I’m really worried about those (I rely a lot on the documents as a memory jog for outside info/remembering ANYTHING about the question’s time period). >.< Are there any things in particular I should definitely study so I can hope to know something about the FRQ prompts?</p>
<p>kms posted possible FRQ topics.</p>
<p>anyone have any advice on what to do if you have no idea what to write on the FRQ(it happens)</p>
<p>Are they looking for a lot of dates in the essay question?</p>
<p>@asdwoe, They aren’t expecting you to know dates, as they aren’t as important as understanding and analyzing the facts. But, my AP Euro teacher told us to try to put as much information into the essay as possible to impress the grader, not sure if this is true but that is her philosophy.</p>
<p>I’m thinking the DBQ will be post-1900s because, looking at the past DBQs, the more recent ones seem to be pre-1900.
FR is all over the place…I gave up on trying to predict that. Hoping for French Revolution and Reformation since I’m good at that stuff.
Well, good luck everybody! Hope to do well tomorrow.</p>
<p>Wow I am going to seriously fail euro test tmrw. Not prepared at all! =[</p>
