*OFFICIAL* 2012-2013 AP European History Thread

<p>Just know that APUSH and Euro exams are on the SAME day. That’s the hardest part for my dual testers.</p>

<p>@WHAPtastic Do you have any advice for students taking both tests on the same day? Unfortunately, I will be in this situation</p>

<p>The AP Euro test isn’t too bad! It’s the US one I’d recommend watching out for.</p>

<p>Oh wow, I am excited for this jawn.</p>

<p>I found this website and it appears helpful: </p>

<p>APEH sage suggests that it is best to start by reading about the age preceding the time period covered by APEH. See outline here:</p>

<p>Topic Outline</p>

<p>The outlined themes that follow indicate some of the important areas that might be treated in an AP course in European History. The ideas suggested do not have to be treated explicitly as topics or covered inclusively, nor should they preclude development of other themes. In addition, questions on the exam will often call for students to interrelate categories or to trace developments in a particular category through several chronological periods. For this reason, students and teachers need to address periodization in European history and to relate periodization, as appropriate, to the following themes.</p>

<ol>
<li>Intellectual and Cultural History</li>
</ol>

<p>-- Changes in religious thought and institutions
– Secularization of learning and culture
– Scientific and technological developments and their consequences
– Major trends in literature and the arts
– Intellectual and cultural developments and their relationship to social values and political events
– Developments in social, economic, and political thought, including ideologies characterized as “-isms,” such as socialism, liberalism, nationalism
– Developments in literacy, education, and communication
– The diffusion of new intellectual concepts among different social groups
– Changes in elite and popular culture, such as the development of new attitudes toward religion, the family, work, and ritual
– Impact of global expansion on European culture</p>

<ol>
<li>Political and Diplomatic History</li>
</ol>

<p>-- The rise and functioning of the modern state in its various forms
– Relations between Europe and other parts of the world: colonialism, imperialism, decolonization, and global interdependence
– The evolution of political elites and the development of political parties, ideologies, and other forms of mass politics
– The extension and limitation of rights and liberties (personal, civic, economic, and political); majority and minority political persecutions
– The growth and changing forms of nationalism
– Forms of political protest, reform, and revolution
– Relationship between domestic and foreign policies
– Efforts to restrain conflict: treaties, balance-of-power diplomacy, and international
organizations
– War and civil conflict: origins, developments, technology, and their consequences</p>

<ol>
<li>Social and Economic History</li>
</ol>

<p>-- The character of and changes in agricultural production and organization

<p>Hows euro going for everyone (if you have started yet)
just finished day 2. favorite and hardest class</p>

<p>Any selfstudyers?</p>

<p>I’m self-studying also. Actually, I’m taking Honors Western Civilization at my school, which I’ve heard overlaps a lot with Euro. I’ll probably get PR within the next few weeks and Crash Course a month before the actual exam. </p>

<p>Any other recommendations for review books? :D</p>

<p>Yay I’m finally part of an AP Thread! :)</p>

<p>I can only get two prep books for ap euro: the crash course and either PR or 5 steps. Should I get PR or 5 steps?</p>

<p>^ I’ve heard PR is really good. I’m getting that, plus Crash Course (maybe).</p>

<p>I’m getting Modern European history + AP Achiever :o
not a for sure thing i have to talk to my teacher</p>

<p>I put together a small group to learn the material outside of school with some help from our old AP World teacher. He has always wanted to teach Euro again (moved to the school 10 years ago, but before then he taught Ap Euro) instead of Comparative Politics. We tried to get it as a class this year, but the administration didn’t really care for it despite the demand last year (we did make our move the beginning of Junior year knowing the syllabus must be submitted in Nov). But, we’re really a semi-pilot program to replace Comparative Politics with Euro next year. We all started out by reading the first 5 chapters of the History of the Modern World book for Euro…and it really didn’t work out well so we’re transition to studying through the Princeton review and one page review/summary sheet per chapter (which is what we did in World and got 4s and 5s). Hopefully it works. European history is interesting, but so incredibly complex.</p>

<p>does anyone have the released ap euro exams?</p>

<p>Where is everyone at in class?</p>
