Official 2010 AP World History Study Thread

<p>well i hope the frqs are on women’s roles, religions, and trans-saharan trade because that’s what i know stuff about lol… but migrations? ugh X_X</p>

<p>Since some of the past essays were about Silk Road, Indian Ocean, Islam on Europe, and Nationalism, is it safe to forget about these topics heavily if I’m focusing on the essays?</p>

<p>Yo wazzup guys :D</p>

<p>Let’s get the MC started and essay topics started. My test is in two days. Gl to everyone else. </p>

<p>Compare and contrast Iran and Egypt after decolonization</p>

<p>Who’s excited for this test???
I am!
I’m self-studying, and it’s been kind of an ordeal, but this should be a great experience.
Thanks for those essay predictions by the way, I’ll be sure to brush up on religions, Trans-Saharan Trade, and Women’s roles tomorrow.
Good luck to everyone and especially to self-studiers!
And because Barron’s only mentioned that there were migrations to the U.S. and South America from Asia and Europe, I’m hoping the essay prompt isn’t that…hehe…</p>

<p>Anyone else feel this test will be impossible?</p>

<p>Not really. I’m just praying it will be easier than I think it will be.</p>

<p>@matt94 i do too!</p>

<p>@Matt: Me too. But like Ronaldofan, I’m praying it will end up being easier than I expect. :p</p>

<p>I took it last year and got a 5, it was definitely easier than I was expecting. Just make sure you know most of your facts and you’ll be golden.</p>

<p>So, my teacher has taught us nothing all year. I’m not really worried though. For starters, I no longer care, and secondly, I took the World Subject Test before I was in the class after studying for only one day and got a 770. I’ll just read a prep book, reread my 9th grade modern history notes, and wing it.</p>

<p>This is a super-easy test. If you know most of your history and understand basic global trends, you WILL get a 5. I took this test after self-studying the first half of the material and having a class for the second half of the material and got a 5. The curve is EXTREMELY generous.</p>

<p>hi guys </p>

<p>i was wondering how did trans-saharan trade change over time? </p>

<p>i know that the abassids traded heavily with Africa, and the Islamic religion was transferred. But how exactly did that trading system change over time? maybe europeans had something to do with it?</p>

<p>The multiple choice should go well. Planning to look over Princeton Review once more and be done with it.</p>

<p>I’m more worried about the essays. I mean, if you don’t know the answer to a multiple choice question, big deal, move on to the next one. But if you don’t know the answer to a essay… </p>

<p>I’ve seen a lot of people on here say that the test is easy, so I’m not that worried. I just hope I’ve done enough to prepare, considering that my teacher is pretty much useless.</p>

<p>i have the same question as omgpie911… like i know what happens in the trans-saharan trade but idk how it really changed over time x3 help would be appreciated!</p>

<p>Seems to me that basically it just spread Islam over time, goods were traded from North Africa to Europe and the middle east. Umm… the Africans valued silver and metals more than gold, so exported their gold to Europe. Over time, some African cities were converted from Christianity or their animistic religions to Islam. Without trans-Saharan trade, Ghana (in west Africa) never would have prospered. That’s all I can think of right now.</p>

<p>Can anyone here describe to me some major migrations that occurred in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries? I heard a rumor about one of the essays possibly focusing on migrations… Anyways, all I know is a lot of Europeans moved to North and South America because of difficulties resulting from the Industrial Revolution. D:</p>

<p>what should I talk about the trans saharan trade? I know absolutely nothing about that</p>

<p>Our Chinese dynasty song has Mao Deng Hu at the end</p>

<p>do you guys think that the people moving from rural to urban areas in the 1914-present period counts as migration? XD</p>

<p>yes i would believe so, although you’d have to provide some specific examples</p>
