*Official 2012 AP World History Thread*

<p>That was honestly almost as easy as AP Language! The mc was so general, and the reading passages were great. The DBQ was quite easy, and the docs were all useful (I used all 10). CCOT was so broad, I just wish I new more, and C&C was easy. Hooray for my last AP test ever!</p>

<p>Pretty confident about a 5, although my CCOT was only two pages… but i still answered the question completely</p>

<p>Its not bad to be confident! I just wish I could be! I was confident at first- my mindset wwas Im definitley getting a 4, possibly a 5. But now, after hearing that everyone thought it was pretty easy- I now think Im definitley getting a 3, maybe a 4 & a SLIM chance of a 5.</p>

<p>I thought MC was pretty easy, I think I got a raw score of 60-62, but I may be wrong. </p>

<p>FRQs: I think I got a 9 on the DBQ, though I only wrote 2 1/2 pages, I’m a concise writer. As for the CCOT/CC, I wrote a paragraph each with a thesis statement and bare basics for historical evidence, can I even get 2s for that? I didn’t care because I was certain that I got a 4, so I didn’t want to write 2 more full essays with little to no benefit. If I’m right about my MC raw score and my DBQ, and the grader enjoys my joke at the end of the CCOT, and the curve isn’t quite as harsh as people are making it out to be, I could get a 5. If not, I’m happy with a 4.</p>

<p>For those of you interested in the joke:
Why are eunuchs bad at chess? Because they can check, but they can’t mate. -_______- badjoke</p>

<p>Hahahaha ^^ I laughed :)</p>

<p>And I was actually considering writing a note to the graders- but I decided my teacher would probably kill me haha</p>

<p>I wrote something. I did the AP prank.</p>

<p>So I guess they gave everyone the same test… Did everyone get a FRQ about cricket? That’s what I got.</p>

<p>I was gonna write some Hunger Games, but did not want to jeoporadize my score. This thread is scaring me now. I really want a five, but might have gotten a three or four. I have no idea.</p>

<p>Same here! After reading the thread im in the loop of a high 3-mid 4. Before reading this thread I definitley thought I was prety confident for a high 4, low 5…</p>

<p>i honestly think i did amazing! The MC was the easiest set of questions that i took all year ( Barron’s, 5 step to a 5, and a bunch of other prep books). I almost laughed out loud at how easy the questions were, and even more at the answer choices. I think i got an 8 on my DBQ, and a minimum of 7 on the two FRQ’s. Did anyone here take Euro and Lang? i loved my AP classes this year, but next year’s going to be a bit tougher. I’m also glad to hear that many people also feel pretty confident :D</p>

<p>And because this was my first AP, I am so scared for my result. I have studied so much harder than the rest of my class, but there’s always the kids who barely study and can get a four or five easily.</p>

<p>is it okay if for the ccot my thesis didn’t specifically write the names of the trade routes? i just put that both overland trades as well as sea lanes/maritime routes continued to flourish but in my body paragraphs thats when i put the specific routes (silk roads, indian ocean, trans-saharan,etc)? or is that too vague for them or…</p>

<p>Thats probably fine! They will give you a thesis point if you just answer the question- it doesnt matter how specific as long as you stated the details in the body paragraphs!</p>

<p>And I also thought the CCOT was fairly general… I know I identified changes and continuities correctly, but do not think my specific evidence was good enough.</p>

<p>Well, I agree, it wasn’t awful.
I never actually took the AP course (my school doesn’t offer it), but I took an Honors World History class last year, and flipped through the Princeton Review. I took AP Euro last week and should’ve gotten a 5 on that, and doing DBQs and FRQs for that exam prepared me for this one. I think I missed around 20 on the MC, and an 8 on the DBQ (the topic made me laugh), and a 4 and 6 on the CCOT and Compare/contrast essays, respectively. I just hope I missed less than 20 on the MC (I counted 23 that I went back to and checked), and hopefully I can get a 4 or 5.
Does anyone know how accurate the APPass.com score calculator is? I also hear talk of some curve… what is that?</p>

<p>I was completely freaking out about this exam and I was doing my 5 steps to 5 questions all last night. Walked in the test today and was shocked on how easy the questions were on the MC.
I also did the AP prank on my essay.</p>

<p>I didn’t know there was an AP prank until right after I completed it…</p>

<p>MC was incredibly easy as was the DBQ but i spent too much time on it i wrote like 6 pages lol im pretty sure i messed up on the 2nd essay i meant neo persians but i just said persians 3rd essay was also very easy but i was running out of time so i had to rush im gonna thank my teacher for putting me through the blood sweat tears she did to make the test so easy!</p>

<p>Okay. So I may or may not have said that Ferdinand and Isabella sponsored Columbus because of YOLO in the essay. There is also a possibility that I ended the essay with a quote from Wicked. </p>

<p>In other news, I expect a 2.</p>

<p>So…i totally misread the comparative question and compared two of the regions listed below…instant 0?</p>
