<p>I hope you do well on the essays because I had the same facts in mine (although I think you remembered more than I did). I talked about de-Stalinization, unrest in satellites, failure of Gorbachev's perestroika. In the French Rev, I talked about National Assembly, Tennis Court Oath, the Constitution of 1792, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man. Unfortunately, my essays had few facts other than what I've listed.</p>
<p>the MC had too many random questions that weren't covered in my text book nor my 4 study guide books.
it also seems to lack questions about the entire 20th century. [russianrev//wwi-present]
the dbq was decent. although when i think about it now, i could have added alot more outside information.
the frqs. lol. i basically started panicking and ran out of time. my essays were terrible. my thesis didn't answer the prompt. and then half way through writing my essay i realized it didn't fully answer my own thesis much less the prompt.</p>
<p>all in all. i'd say cramming 6 centuries of european history in 48 hours was definetly not a good idea.
i really wish i started studying a lot earlier.
i'm pretty bummed because i knew enough naturally to get at least a 4 but seeing as my brain panicked and i ran out of time.....
i definetly did worse than the several practice tests i've taken :[</p>
<p>I studied for three hours (after January, since I had just a semester long course). So, yeah, didn't have a great time too. But still, I believe I might have just passed this time, thanks to such Dbqs and frqs! :)</p>
<p>The essay on Urbinization, i had a limited amount of time so i automatically connected Industrial Revolution with Urbinization. For example, i mentioned the postive aspects (social mobility, increased population Thomas Malthus, more jobs, increased economy, new ideas, socialism, new movements- Romanticism...etc) And problems (using Karl Marks- exploitation of the working class, increased gap between the middle and working class, the potential for a socialist revolution...etc). I think the essay was magnificent, however is it correct? (note the question concerns "urbinization")</p>
<p>I don't know. I also did the urbanization prompt and was half way through my essay on industrialization before I looked at the prompt again. I think what they were getting at with the specification of urbanization was the horrible living conditions which lead to new movements, reform. </p>
<p>Of course, mentioning Malthus, Romanticism, and economics is casting a wider net, but they might count off for straying from the ultimate topic of urbanization.</p>
<p>Yeah, for the urbanization essay, I immediately linked it to industrialization and started writing an essay about that. Then I reread the question and realized that I wasn't even answering it. And at the end of the essay, I also realized that I barely talked about the opportunities. Oops.</p>
