<p>I’m really unprepared for this test. I have only read part of Princeton Review’s book. I should really get studying… But after studying for AP Bio, I’m kind of burnt out.</p>
<p>Same here…</p>
<p>So I took the fall 2011 practice test that the College Board issued. I only did the multiple choice part and got 62 out of the 70 correct. From this it seems pretty easy, is the practice they give much less rigorous as the actual test? Because according to my score calculator, if i get 62 multiple choice correct, I can get 4 (out of 9) on all the essays and still get a 5.</p>
<p>especially since i didn’t study at all before taking the multiple choice</p>
<p>Hey! I just wrote this, and this is crazy. So here’s my essay, give me a 5 maybe. </p>
<p>Anyway, I took a practice exam at school and I scored a 3. Which was a surprise since I thought I did better. I knew a lot of info for the CCOT and CC essay but they’re looking for very specific stuff and apparently I did not link them all directly enough. -sigh- I’m going to study my butt off even more tomorrow to score at least a 4.</p>
<p>I think that link might be for AP US because i thought that the World Test was out of 120.</p>
<p>Use this phrase for the dynasties:
(xia) Stupid zebra, quit hanging suits tangled, some mongooses mind</p>
<p>I’m guessing I’m a major AP-noob, since I did not know at all that there was a curve. How much has the curve on the multiple choice been in the past?</p>
<p>What do they mean when they say the theiss has to tie in with the entire essay? do you have to say all your changes continuities/ comparisons contrasts in the thesis. Or can it just be “Even though the Aztecs and Mongols were miles apart and had to interact as well as cope with different conditions, their administration has some fundamental similarities.” Should i include ALL my points in the thesis paragraph?</p>
<p>How do you write the intros for the CCs and CCONTs? I don’t think we lose points for a bad intro (only a bad thesis I think), but my intro is like super cheesy.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I took apush last year and I’m used to the apush DBQ, so I’m kind of confused about the grouping requirements for the World History DBQ. (I also took a regular World History class and I’m doing additional self-study for the AP, so we didn’t do a lot of DBQs in class). I understand that they want you to group documents for your supporting evidence, and that seems pretty easy to do, but I don’t get how to explicitly demonstrate that you’re grouping them. Is it sufficient to imply that they’re grouped in the way that you use them, without explicitly saying so, or should you put them together in the parenthetical citation? Not sure if that question made sense…kind of hard to phrase. Thanks!!</p>
<p>You need one change and one continuity in your thesis. </p>
<p>The thesis statement should probably include the time period and some background info for all three essays.</p>
<p>I just took the official fall 2011 test and scored 64/70. And I haven’t studied that much! Tons of the questions just tested one’s basic logical reasoning capabilities. I really hope the actual exam is like that.</p>
<p>I suggest we ask more questions to each other.</p>
<p>Who was Lech Walesa and why was he important?</p>
<p>^ I have no idea, which means he must not be important whatsoever.</p>
<p>what are the basic principles of Jainism and Manichaeism?</p>
<p>Lech Walesa was the leader of the Solidarity movement in Poland in the twentieth century that encouraged economic reform after World War II. Though he was arrested for his acts, Lech Walesa set Poland’s foundations to grow with some aspects of capitalism and socialism. This allowed Poland to later enter the European Union. This was a big change, transitioning from lying between German and USSR rule to a successful economy today.</p>
<p>How hard is the MC section? Because i’ve taken 3 practice test and i’ve averaged out getting 33 of them right. I really would like to get at least 48 of them right on the actual test.</p>
<p>^ Have you taken the official test released by CB for fall 2011? It’s a good indicator of your ability. If you haven’t yet taken it, try it and see how you do.</p>
<p>Stud, dude, it’s like 4 AM. </p>
<p>Whaaayyyyy are you awake?</p>
<p>Procrastination + insomnia = 4AM bedtime!</p>
