Difficulty of World History

<p>crap now im thinking back at whether or not i bubbled on the right number..... NOO!</p>

<p>hey, look on the bright side, at least its not junior year.</p>

<p>lol sorry chickenboi. if you got to the end and it was 70 on both your answer sheet and the test then you were probably fine. </p>

<p>but that was like my worst nightmare.....i actually did dream about something going wrong during the ap test.......and it came true......scary.</p>

<p>the thing was i skipped all around and went back and forth to the ones i knew and the ones where i could eliminate answers. come to think of it, i dont even remember answering #70....... ><</p>

<p>oh well, whats done is done. hopefully yours will be ok.</p>

<p>Oh wow.. that sucks.. I'm sorry =(</p>

<p>But.. at least it wasn't the essay where you messed up on. I know this one person who wrote about 2 pages worth of stuff only to find out later that she misread the question and went back, changed the thesis, then tried to tailor the body paragraphs to the new thesis... and didn't have time.. and well.. the result was a rather.. um.. interesting essay '^^</p>

<p>Aw man, i would have just called in quits after that. BTW, which prep books did you guys use to review?</p>

<p>oh wow that does suck. my friend started writing the cot on something that wasnt a choice. but he only went for about a half page before he noticed.</p>

<p>i bought kaplan and got an old version of 5 steps to a 5 at goodwill. they were both ok. i also borrowed my teachers petersons book and took the practice tests. i thought they were a lot harder than the real multiple choice questions.</p>

<p>ANYWAY, back to AP World...</p>

<p>class was a total joke. At least we got to watch Band of Brothers after the AP test. Test was way easy (yet still got only a 4, then just HAD to ask some random crap about the Bantu nations in the FRQs)!</p>

<p>I used PR. The practice MCs were alot harder than the actual ones. Ironicly the DBQs where ALOT easier than the actual ones. Gonna go for now to eat chinese food.</p>

<p>my class was ok. kind of uneven. we spent about 3 weeks during the beginning of the year doing nothing while waiting for our books. then we went a little bit too slow during foundations and 600-1450. then 1750-present we finished like we were on speed. 2-4 chapters a week. </p>

<p>we never had any essay practice though. i would have practiced more with the prep books but he kept promising we were going to start a big essay unit soon. well, in reality, we wrote a dbq on monday and a comp on tuesday. today at the test was my first cot.</p>

<p>did any of you guys use stearns world civilizations for your book?</p>

<p>oh well, im glad its over.</p>

<p>MC- medium</p>

<p>dbq- pretty good, had a little trouble grouping it, but atleast I still grouped it, even though it was crappy groupings..</p>

<p>cot- not all that great, jumped around from topic to topic in explaining the question..major BS'ing going on in the essay</p>

<p>comparative- i rocked this essay, just learned about the topic in my class a week ago..yeah.my class is way behind...</p>

<p>My school doesn't offer the AP WH class, so I'm in the Honors class. The class helped me in the MC part, because there were some random questions on the test, and my teacher likes to spout random facts. The last time we did an essay was back in the first semester grading period, and I had to learn the DBQ format on my own, because she was going too much at a slow pace in trying to teach it to us.</p>

<p>I used Barrons and Petersons, and I found that Peterson's questions correlated more with the MC section ( I swear I saw the exact same question on the test that I saw in the book). Barrons definitely overprepared me for the essays...which was a good thing. I skimmed through the Glencoe book, but only to look up the change in women status after the revolutions, because the compative question in Barrons scared me into looking it up.</p>

<p>MC was kinda easy, don't know about the essays. Weird grouping on the DBQ, messed up but kinda worked out later on. Guessed an nation's ideology on the Comparative and got it right...<br>
2nd essay I picked Rome</p>

<p>How many pages did you guys write for each essay?</p>

<p>i used barrons and princeton
i cant believe all that cramming i did b4 the test didnt even help me b/c it wasnt even a topic on the test! grr i hate myself for that</p>

<p>I wrote about 3 1/2 pages for the DBQ and comparative. 2 pages for the cot.</p>
