I AM FREAKING OUT, this test is going to blow omfg. 
i’m using REA crash course & barron’s to study rn
SO SCREWED FOR THIS TEST
I would care more, except I’m completely burned out from all my other APs.
@glasshours Chem and Calc destroyed my life and now I have to do this tmrw??? LAWD help me :((
link to answers did not work
Lol knew nothing 10 hrs ago (horrible teacher that didn’t teach us anything) and now I’m on the 1850’s and feeling much more confident and ready to stay up till 3. I think that with the new exam format, and the many not smart people (lol - I’m just basing this off of the people in chat on the live review vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LuENzZqJAo) taking this test, I think that the curve will be very generous. I’m thinking a 5 will be around a 60. What are you guys thinking?
Does anyone have any tips on formatting a DBQ?
@ALananhR Find 3 points that you can talk about (Economic, Political, Social, Ideological, etc) and base your DBQ off of that- in the intro briefly talk about them and then have 3 main body paragraphs about them
What dthe asterisks stand for? And my weakest topics are WWI, Reconstruction, and all that Manifest Destiny stuff. I’m so nervous…I don’t even care about sleeping at this point, I’m going to stay up as long as I need to to understand everything that I’m iffy on
@garyasho2 I was told that it’s better to make 2-3 groups off the DBQ - For example: Immediatists, Gradualists, and pro-slavery nubs, and then discuss differences in their ideology, with of course POV and all that fun stuff
Do you guys think there’s any chance that the essays could be about women’s rights/movement, Native Americans, Cold War policies? Does anyone know if those were on the 2013 or 2014 tests?
@puregritaf Cold War was already on 2014 test DBQ. Women’s rights and Native Americans are too narrow of a topic for an extensive DBQ.
Also, does anyone know if the exam will test Bush, Obama presidencies???
@ChemFire085 thank you so, so much. Sounds like there’s a lot of speculation that they’ll be on Progressive Era/Gilded Age…
maybe bush but probably not obama since it is fairly recent
According to this document I found, here are the DBQ + essay questions from 2013-2014 (this doc may be completely wrong, please correct me if I am):
2013:
Analyze the role of trans-Atlantic trade and Great Britain’s mercantilist policies in the economic development of the British North American colonies in the period from 1650 to 1750.
Analyze the ways in which the United States sought to advance its interests in world affairs between 1789 and 1823.
Analyze the causes of growing opposition to slavery in the United States from 1776 to 1852. In your response, consider both underlying forces and specific events that contributed to the growing opposition.
Analyze the impact of technological innovations on the lives of TWO of the following groups. Confine your answer to the period 1865-1920: factory workers, middle-class urban residents, Midwestern farmers.
Between 1954 and 1975 various groups in the United States engaged in protest. Analyze the reasons that protest emerged in this period for TWO of the following groups: African-Americans, college students, Latino Americans, women.
2014:
Choose two of the following and analyze their impact on colonial North American development between 1620 and 1776: Puritanism, the Enlightenment, the 1st Great Awakening.
Compare and contrast the Democratic Party and the Whig Party of the 1830s and 1840s. Focus on two of the following: the role of federal government in the economy, social reform, westward expansion.
To what extent were the goals of Reconstruction regarding African-Americans achieved by 1900?
Explain the social, economic, and foreign policy goals of New Right conservatives from the 1960s to the 1980s and assess the degree to which the Reagan administration succeeded in implementing these goals in the 1980s.
How and why did the goals of United States foreign policy change from the end of the First World War to the end of the Korean War?
If the following is certainly true, then I can only guess that the DBQ’s are going to be all over the place.
Y would you predict the FRQs? The college board is random and secret they don’t always follow predictable patterns. Know your stuff and you should be fine.
Does anyone know how much documents we should address/ reference in our DBQ? My apush teacher said almost all but adam norris says a few (tbh i kind of trust adam norris more)
@thelalalanddd according to the new DBQ grading rubric, you need to use all (or every document, save for one) of the documents provided to you in order to get a 5-6. We were drilled in the process for several weeks by our APUSH teacher, and it’s absolute hell to try to incorporate every document
@revenientis where did you find the new DBQ grading rubric? Could you possibly pm me a link?
Should I pull an all nighter studying or should I try to get at least 3 hours of sleep? :((
