hi ,every one! I will be taking the AP world history exam this year. I was looking at the essays given by college board in the past years and I noticed the essays in 2000s and the essays in 2013 or 2012 are pretty different. The essays that got a 8/9 in 2006 or 2005 were pretty simple and to the point. They included everything on the rubric, and also managed to get points from the expanded core. But the recent essays (2012 / 2013) are really different, they seem to be more complex and contain more information. Did the standards for a high scoring essay change? If the essays with a 8 or 9 in 2006 were written in the exam today, would they still get such a high score? Thank you</p>
