AP US predictions

<p>What do you guys think the dbq will be on this year based on what's been asked in the past.</p>

<p>Im thinking its somewhere in the 1800s either bout slavery, reconstruction or maybe gilded age?</p>

<p>I’m thinking 1800s as well. While 1900-1950 is the most frequent era they test for DBQs, it’s been a while since they’ve done a good 1800-1850 question. Maybe Mexican-American war or debate over War of 1812.</p>

<p>Last year it was on the development of slavery from 1770 to 1830</p>

<p>^ whoops, my bad. Still, they’ve NEVER asked a War of 1812 question, DBQ or essay.</p>

<p>The 2002 DBQ was:
Historians have traditionally labeled the period after the War of 1812 the “Era of Good Feelings.” Evaluate the accuracy of this label, considering the emergence of nationalism and sectionalism.</p>

<p>So they have had DBQs on the War of 1812 or in the time period of it… there also has been many FRQs.</p>

<p>@tpg1993:</p>

<p>so the War of 1812 may not show up in the exam…hmm…</p>

<p>The War of 1812 will most likely show up in the Multiple Choice Questions because of the importance of the event (Embargo Act, Impressment, Non-Intercourse, Non-Importation etc) but the chances of it being a DBQ are very slim. Most people are predicting something on the Progressive Era, Antebellum Reform, or Jacksonian Democracy.</p>

<p>PROGRESSIVES.</p>

<p>I am like so certain it’s been on progressives. They haven’t asked about the progressives yet (at least, I don’t think; I looked at the DBQs from 2001 onward and it wasn’t on there). Perhaps it will ask about the progresssives/populists? Or the role of women/African Americans (i.e. the lackthereof). I dunno. I’d be thrilled if it were on the progressives, though. There should be at least one essay on them, right?</p>

<p>What do you guys think about the FREs? I’m thinking there has to be at least one associated with slavery, and perhaps the others will be on WWII/the cold war/the gilded age? I mean, I don’t think that will be ALL the essays, but I’m there will be an FRE on at least one of those topics.</p>

<p>They actually had a Progressive DBQ in 2003 Form B, but I am def. predicting that this is what it will be on for the 2010. I don’t think it will be on the role of African Americans personally because of last years DBQ. If there is not a DBQ on the Progressive there will most likely be an essay, so either way it’s a win win situation (at least I think it’s one of the easier time periods in USH). </p>

<p>I don’t think Slavery for the FRQs because there was one last year (DBQ) so that would probably be out, but who knows.</p>

<p>I just hope it’s something I know a lot about.</p>

<p>If I recall correctly there wasnt really anything on women last year, so I think there’s going to be at least an FRQ focusing mosty on women. I’d also be pleased with a Progressive Era essay…</p>

<p>What about the Mexican war? Though I don’t know what they’d ask… the only thing I can think of is how it increased sectional tension, and they asked about slavery last year…</p>

<p>I can see it being on Jacksonian Democracy, oh gosh. That would be just awful.</p>

<p>If there is a DBQ on the Mexican War I am just going to start to cry hysterically (is this allowed collegeboard? lol). For some reason I have trouble with The Mexican War.</p>

<p>Mexican War? What’s that? (I’m serious)</p>

<p>is that with Hidalgo?</p>

<p>If it’s on progressives that’d be really good!!</p>

<p>could they have one on the 1960s and civil rights? Or maybe corruption in politics in the 60s?</p>

<p>I’d do anything for it to be on progressives. I wrote a beast one on them earlier in the year.</p>

<p>Gilded Age, Radical Reconstruction or Antebellum Sectionalism.</p>

<p>I can never remember what happened in the Mexican War. Ugh.</p>

<p>I’m hoping for Progressives. Gilded Age? </p>

<p>Nothing too recent though please.</p>

<p>Wasn’t there a Gilded Age politics question (Stalwarts v Halfbreeds, etc) recently?</p>

<p>my teacher say that this year might be about woman suffrage because they have never had a DBQ about it.</p>
