AP Euro

<p>Do I need to know extremely specific things?</p>

<p>How close is REA's tests to the Actual test?</p>

<p>I am a self study student and am JW how much I need to study extremely specific things.</p>

<p>Can anyone who has taken the test before highlight the more important things to study?</p>

<p><a href="http://www.white-history.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.white-history.com&lt;/a> will help you get a 5 on the exam.</p>

<p>Is REA's MC accurate to that of the AP EXAM b/c I only score around a 60% on REA's, and the example MC put out on the collegeboard website I scored 100%, even if it was 40 problems.</p>

<p>That web site contains some not-so-subtle racist undertones...</p>

<p>Perhaps you should stick with the more professional sites:</p>

<p><a href="http://college.hmco.com/history/west/mckay/western_society/7e/students/outlines.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://college.hmco.com/history/west/mckay/western_society/7e/students/outlines.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>REA is a little harder, but still pretty accurate.</p>

<p>REA's tests seem super specific to me, whereas the World Hisotry test today and the example MC were more generic.</p>

<p>Does anyone else have experience with REA's book?</p>

<p>i am doing practice with REA and Barrons. ill let u know how it helped after i receive my 1 in July! yay</p>

<p>thank you for the link GUATE</p>

<p>also I found this site, might help a few people</p>

<p><a href="http://www.historyteacher.net/APEuroCourse/APEuroCourseMainPage.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.historyteacher.net/APEuroCourse/APEuroCourseMainPage.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"Note" there are 2 types of quizzes on this site, might help a little bit for cramage ;)</p>

<p>YOu dont need an additional document for the DBQ in europe right?</p>

<p>that web site has no racist undertones. where? it specifically says there aren't. anyway, i used it last year and got a 5... you need to read before you just "jump to conclusions"</p>

<p>guate, you idiot.</p>

<p>does anyone know what the curve is for the exam?!</p>

<p>I used an REA and got a 5</p>

<p>Easy there amnesia, I apologize if I offended you. </p>

<p>I believe your claim that the site helped you get a 5 on the test; it contains some great information. It's just that the overall presentation of the web site, e.g. that it is a history of "the white race", puts an emphasis on racial themes that would not be discussed in a normal textbook because they are not directly relevant to our study of Europe. </p>

<p>Like the specific emphasis on whites in Egypt(?!) and the practice of constantly referring to any other ethnic groups as "non-whites". The author portrays battles between cultures as "race wars" and even calls them such.<br>
Perhaps the author does not realize that Europe is not made up of only whites--certainly reading a whites-only history of Europe is neglecting some important information, especially in regard to modern Europe.</p>

<p>Anyway, that's why I myself would not review using that site and why I suggested an alternative...</p>

<p>if it said black race, u would think differently.</p>

<p>dude, everything on there is true. you have to look at history from a racial perspective... how the hell did the us get into the mess it's in? AA is nonwhite, anyway.</p>

<p>well, it got me a 5... and if it said black or asian race, u would say it's fine. w/e. apology accepted, i guess we have different viewpoints.
oh and, for the record, im not white... and i didn't find it racist.</p>

<p>thank u for ur link again guate, you are my savior!! it might make the difference between a 0 and a 1 for me! lol jk</p>

<p>From what I've heard the Euro curve is pretty generous. In class we took a practice exam...with only 58 correct MC, 9 on DBQ, and 7's on FRE, I got a 5. Also, my teacher said that with only 30/80 MC correct and a 9 on DBQ alone (without FRE) will already get you a 3</p>

<p>anyone wanna guess at what the essays might be? my teacher "suspects" there will be a compare/contrast with the french and russian revolutions and also thinks there will be a world war 2 question. any more thoughts??</p>

<p>I wonder if there will be a question dealing with social issues like women and minorities' rights.</p>

<p>ps. does anyone have an official curve from a previous year? Just want to see the range.</p>
