<p>Quick question. </p>
<p>For number 3 on the FRQ, what score do you think I would get if I talked about the 3G’s, Spencer’s Social Darwinism, Kipling’s white man’s burden, and Germany’s place in the sun? I did add some other examples, but I don’t exactly remember it. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I used document 4 and two others in an intermediate category of religious toleration with tensions apparent in beliefs as well.</p>
<p>Dbq topic was analyze the practice and arguments of religious toleration
But i thought practice and argument are almost same thing so I only wrote about arguments… Do you think this will prevent me from getting expanded core?
My groupings were
<p>I should have read the question more carefully…</p>
<p>@Andy: That’s perfectly fine, everyone did it that way.</p>
<p>My teacher is seriously giving my class a final tomorrow…</p>
<p>^Wow that sucks. At our school, if you take AP exams, you’re automatically excluded from the finals in those respective classes. There was actually a final for the seniors in our class who didn’t take the exam, which was a 30 question, open book, open notes multiple choice exam. Yeah…</p>
<p>@RivingtonRebel and @Andy… unfortunately according to my understanding of DBQs and what my teacher says its NOT the same thing, and your groups in the current state don’t answer the question explicitly so depending on the grader you might lose that point leaving you at a 5 for the dbq.
practices and arguments are different things</p>
<p>But the arguments directly affect the practices so I don’t see a problem.
Plus my thesis stated that the practices depended on the way people viewed toleration, either positively, negatively, or through the eyes of a ruler trying to do the best for their state.</p>
<p>It could go either way, but if you set up the framework like that i can see them taking it.
Don’t worry :)</p>
<p>We have a final exam too /:</p>
<p>Those teachers suck… our ‘final’ is a poster board we make of a country of our choice, and that is only because our county requires that all students in all classes have final grades that count for double-test grades.</p>
<p>My teacher gave us a final the week before the APs (Ours is an afterschool course). Good thing was that I aced the final and felt totally confident going into the exam. I found the exam itself super easy, I had no problems in the multiple choice, except a minor hiccup on the contemporary politically important painter question and the Sakharov question. DBQ was super easy. I honestly cannot believe they gave us a religion DBQ. The first FRQ was really awesome because the same colonialism question showed up on my final. And I wrote about the right-wing dictatorship question. Didn’t really touch on Franco though because he didn’t fit my argument. I basically focused on Hitler, Mussolini, and the Vidovdan Constitution and Alexander I of Yugoslavia.</p>
<p>@Harrovian – I had trouble on the painter question, too. Do you know the correct answer?</p>
<p>It was Jacques-Louis David. I blanked and said Vermeer…</p>
<p>Oh good, that’s what I put. The “contemporary” part threw me off at first, but David was the only one whose work resembled anything political as far as I could remember.</p>
<p>It was David. I didn’t know that, but none of the others made sense. I think there were 3 renaissance painters, and Vermeer was Dutch, and most Dutch painters painted real-life (quasi-realist) paintings, and burgher commissioned portraits. That only left him.</p>
<p>I thought “Jacques-Louis David” sounded the most “prestigious” sounding of the answer choices, so that’s why I guessed it haha. :D</p>
<p>I remember that I wasn’t familiar with Vermeer at all and the others were too early on to paint anything that was considered “contemporary”. David painted the Oath of the Horatii, which I knew was political. Wasn’t he also around during the French Rev? I feel like I remember reading that somewhere.</p>
<p>I know this is late, but it was definitely David.
Everyone’s right, those older artists all wouldn’t have painted political statements and they definitely weren’t contemporary.
Vermeer was not only a Dutch realist but his preoccupation was with women doing everyday things. (girl with the pearl earring)…he wasn’t political.
David painted Oath of the Horatii and was a revolutionary in France. He also painted the death of Merot, who was a Jacobin radical that was killed. He painted Napoleon leading his men over the alps, also political. He was quintessentially a political commentator.</p>
<p>from trevor packer:</p>
<p>AP European History scores, 2013: 5: 10.3%. 4: 18.7%. 3: 34.9%. 2: 11.0%. 1: 25.1%. These may shift slightly as late exams are scored,</p>
<p>also…as i look through the thread again, i think i should point out that exams are not “curved” - the cutoffs are determined before the test is even administered…so in theory, everyone could get a 5 (or a 1) if they performed at that predetermined level</p>
