AP European History Post Test

<p>For the technology question I used naval/navigational technologies (lanteen sail, better ships, astrolabe, compass), firearms (guns and cannons), and the printing press. I thought the first two were pretty obvious.</p>

<p>AHAHAHAHA wait are you serious? Since we never learned anything about test format in class and I didn’t review, I just used all the stuff I learned in APUSH. Yessss that’s the best news I’ve heard all day, thanks!</p>

<p>^^ That’s exactly what I did. But I accidentally said sextant instead of astrolabe :frowning: .</p>

<p>EDIT: Does anyone know how they grade the FRQ? Is it just objective and they write down the number that corresponds to how well they think you answered the question?</p>

<p>Pretty easy imo even though the class was a joke and we literally did nothing in class the whole year. Most of the stuff I learned in AP World last year and with cramming for 2 weeks, I think I got at least 50 right our of 80 (got like 53-54 on practice tests). Not so sure about the essays- I think I got a 6-7 on the DBQ, but I have no idea what I got on the FRQs because there’s no rubric!! I picked 4 and 7- am I the only one who did lol</p>

<p>

haha that’s exactly why i skipped that one; all i could think of was how technology diminished the power of the states.</p>

<p>and @mathrom: i’m guessing it’s pretty objective just bc there are so many options for what you can write about. there’s probably some points system with how much detail and/or analysis you use or something but i’d guess a lot of it is just the general idea of how well you answered the question. all of this is totally speculative though, i don’t actually have any idea how they grade things…</p>

<p>Rubric says “use majority of documents” how many is that out of 12? i think i used 9</p>

<p>our euro teacher said to only skip 1, but i feel like skipping 3 shouldn’t affect you that much since you still used a majority…</p>

<p>majority- half plus one, simple math. 12 documents/2=6+1=7 document minimum</p>

<p>Is it possible to take the AP Euro test again if you failed?</p>

<p>@voberaptor 7 is considered a majority by the exam graders, but my teacher’s rule was always 4-1-1 (4 POV + 11 documents)…she graded as if 11 was majority! But on the real test at least 7 is acceptable.</p>

<p>If talking about the 2 frq is ships and compasses a good response ?</p>

<p>Did you guys get a lot of E answers towards the end on the M/C?</p>

<p>there were a lot of E’s in the middleish for me. like I had a string of 3 E’s</p>

<p>Did anyone do the frq about the middle class rising and the gender roles? I feel like I was the only one…what did you guys write for that frq?</p>

<p>I did FRQ 2 and 7.
I thought 7 was easy…i talked about Britian’s deteriorating post WWII economy–>unable to hold colonial territories. Colonists seeing the “savagery” of Europeans during the war. A change of attitudes of Europeans following WWII/Holocaust (International Laws, Humanitarianism, Nuremberg Trials).
On 2, I had a bit more trouble. I talked about Spanish exploration, Copernicus/Galileo’s findings undermining church authority, and increased British naval superiority because of better ship technology. I thought my last two ideas were a really big stretch…
The FRQs were much harder than the DBQ I thought.</p>

<p>Just curious- how long were your essays? For my DBQ it was about 5-6 pages, and my FRQs were around 2-3 pages each.</p>

<p>I wrote essays 3 and 5; 3 – related to my AP Art History class, and 5 – I wrote an essay for Euro about women’s roles in the 18th and 19th centuries, so that worked out well. Each essay was almost exactly 2 and a half pages. My DBQ was nearly exactly 4, and I discussed the opinions as some wanted less government aid, others wanted workers to help themselves, and some (such as the Marx/Engels doc) wanted togetherness and unity throughout government and society alike.</p>

<p>I thought that the multiple choice was not as hard as I’d expected, and I’ve even seen some of those questions before. In different forms, such as the ones on heliocentricity, Kepler, Copernicus, etc., but still quite similar. The propaganda and woodcut messed me up, though the Manet was easy (leisure!).</p>

<p>I thought FRQ question 4 was incredibly easy – A godsend for me, really. I LOVE the French Revolution, and that was a topic that I actually studied for. Plus, the national identity? So broad, and so many ways to get your point across. </p>

<p>The DBQ was awesome too, as I actually studied up really well on econ the night before and DID add in outside info (like Adam Smith :smiley: ) </p>

<p>And lastly, FRQ 7 was not bad, but not great either. I was familiar with Nazi ideology, so I was able to BS my way through half and actually write facts with the other half ;).
BSing is all right if you are actually familiar with the stuff – I’m not expecting this one to be great though, but the others were, so that’s fine.</p>

<p>Overall, the MC were good too. I felt that Euro was manageable; But we’ll see when I get the scores lol – I might be hallucinating and received a 1.</p>

<p>Oh, and OMG, I got that Manet question right then! SO relieved … I was vacillating between the choices in that question. Euro Art is NOT my strong point :D.</p>

<p>i wanted to write about adam smith but i didn’t know how to because he wasn’t in the time period</p>

<p>Mc was alright.
DBQ and FRQ’s were ridiculously easy.
I did 4 & 6.
I saw Napoleon and Nazi Germany and COULDN’T pass those up.
Easy 4/5.</p>

<p>Btw I like the question with the poster in Polish ;D</p>
