Hey guys, I’m not supposed to share this, but it is really important. My APUSH teacher, one of the most influential APUSH teachers in Arizona (she has the highest pass rate in the county) shared with us a really important peice of info. Her husband is and AP Art History essay grader who is really good friends with the man who writes the 4 and 5 FRQ questions (ie post-1850). She told us that he mentioned to her that one of the questions is going to focus on Woodrow Wilson’s domestic policies and the other is going to focus on the lasting impact of Roosevelt’s Big Stick Policy (smashed all of the other policies out of the ballpark!) I thought this info would help guide your studies for the next two evenings. Good luck on Friday!</p>
While I’m sure your post will get everyone to study these two subjects, I think it will be unlikely to see BOTH of them as our FRQs. However, I think it would make more sense to have a 20th century FRQ becuase alot of people are predicting a war of 1812 DBQ, considering it has not been used in the past few years.</p>
Really? My APUSH teachers, who have a 90+% pass rate (we’re smart, smart kids), are saying that there is almost certainly going to be a Reconstruction essay question.</p>
First off, unless the first post is coming from a ■■■■■ (which is what I highly believe), releasing that kind of information can cause much more damage than just cancelling scores. If your instructor released that kind of information, there’s a possibility she could lose her teaching certificate, and be unable to teach any other AP exam. Her husband may face the repercussion of never being able to be an AP grader again, and ALL of the scores at your school may be cancelled for releasing any information. </p>
And even if your AP teacher and her husband were speaking about the essays, they do’t even know the subject of the essays until June when grading begins. AP questions AREN’T written on a year-by-year basis. There’s a large bank of potential AP questions, which the College Board randomly selects from. Even if your instructor’s husband was a chief AP reader, meaning he’d be a tenured college professor, and not an AP Art History grader, he wouldn’t know of the topic until June.</p>
I hope the people on CC are smart enough to ignore your comment. There’s no need to spend a large chunk of time on reading these two areas of USH specifically for the essay - if you aren’t prepared enough now, there isn’t much you can do.</p>
Good luck to everyone taking the test tomorrow!</p>
Actually, AP questions ARE written on a year-by-year basis. There’s a document/page somewhere on the professionals.collegeboard.com site that explains the whole process of creating an AP exam FRQ, which involves writing a question years in advance and field-testing it with professionals (and maybe students) and tweaking until it’s satisfactory.</p>
So it’s certainly possible that OP isn’t ■■■■■■■■ (though, admittedly, it’s highly unlikely that OP’s hearsay is actually accurate). Still, being extra knowledgeable about Wilson and TR isn’t a bad thing at all.</p>
Im kinda leaning on the side that the OP is a ■■■■■, but knowing my luck, I’m not gonna study this, he’s gonna be right, and I’m gonna look stupid. -______-</p>
Lol I agree with Lakersince95 … watch me ignore the ■■■■■ and then have those be the FRQ choices… sigh Well, it can’t hurt studying those topics a bit more. And as for other educated predictions I’ve heard of for either FRQ/DBQ, the main ones are Reconstruction or Progressive Era stuff, maybe WWI/II/policies after (like New Deal, etc) … Things like the War of 1812 are highly unlikely…</p>
LOL yeahhhh…
Breezed through the mult choice and I NAILED THE DBQ~!!!
I was soooooo relieved when I saw it was all that gilded age stuff xDDD Wrote 6 sides of pages (3 full pages front and abck) for it! xD
And then the other two were okay… xD mediocre - pretty good
Haha… they had NOTHING to do with what the rickin ■■■■■ said… lmao :P</p>
<p>hahahhaha too funny. These supposed, “leaked” question trolls always show up like a week before the exam date. All the idiots who were last minute studying are looking for some way to get off easy since they slacked off during the entire year instead of studying.</p>
<p>I’ve been saying it for awhile - If you want to pass the AP exam you need to study the ~entire~ subject. There are absolutely no short cuts.</p>
