Read the vocab?
Or… Read the sections?</p>
The Free Response seems intuitive enough, but I’m just glossing over terms that keep getting thrown out in the MC without any real background (ex. A lot of the questions seem to just require you to know the definition of a person/thing or a basic characteristic of a place)</p>
Yeah…I have no idea how to actually STUDY for this test. I’d say that the vocab is important because it seems to be emphasized on the FRQs, but I know that I have issues with translating my knowledge of the vocab to each FRQ. Also, I’d suggest knowing examples of how the vocab applies to the world, because they often ask for you to regurgitate vocab along with examples to back it up. :\ I’m just happy that I took the class, so I’m at least pretty familiar with most of the vocab.</p>
My school doesn’t offer the class, nor do most places in my region, so I don’t have much experience with the class. I did have not particular question, though. How are you supposed to structure the FRQs? Do you break them down (by the parts they ask, ex. (a), (b), (c)) or do you lump them together and address all the questions?</p>
Yeah…there’s no way I would have taken the class normally, but the teacher is known for being great, so I decided to go for it. Anyway, basically you answer them in groupings and break it up into the different sections that they give you to answer the question. No actual essay is necessary.</p>
Ahhh, got it.
It’s a fairly easy read so I’m just gonna try to get through it tonight. </p>
I’m glad no essay is actually necessary.
Heh.
So can I just answer the FRQs like I would on the gov tests?</p>
I would assume so…they’re really not terrible for being essay questions.</p>
