**OFFICIAL** 2013 AP World Thread

<p>12 AM, time to give up.
I’m terrified but there’s nothing I can do now, haha.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Taking it in an hour good luck to all!</p>

<p>My proctor is giving us a ten minute break…BOMBED multiple choice I think
I started guessing and I’m like “eh why not” there were so so many quotes =.=</p>

<p>how did you guys do?</p>

<p>Is it completely wrong for you to talk about the Abbasid and Ummayad Caliphate for the second free response question? I mistakenly thought the mediterranean region referred to the Middle East during the exam. So i talked

  1. continuities-the tradition of religious toleration and acceptance of different cultures
    –>cultural growth
  2. changes–>the creation of umma and political stability leading to greater intellectual curiosity and cultural growth </p>

<p>what would i get for this essay?</p>

<p>the Islamic empires had covered the Mediterranean so nope. The Umayyad had encompassed North Africa and Spain so it pretty much got a chunk of the Mediterranean</p>

<p>The mc was ridiculously easy… Finished in 30 minutes XD</p>

<p>yay i said almost the exact same things… lol so hopefully at least 7/8 :P</p>

<p>but i didn’t mention anything about rome… would i be able to get 3 points?
I am pretty sure i got 8-9 on dbq and 9 on the third essay. </p>

<p>MCQs took me 40 minutes to finish. It had too many reading questions.
I ended up picking couple as they were quite confusing.</p>

<p>i mentioned rome but i kinda regret it, since they only asked about the effect of political structure, and didnt rome mainly influence idea growth?</p>

<p>lol i dunno… my WH teacher spent the whole year talkin about her family and making up grades so yea</p>

<p>Can I still earn points if I have factually wrong information in my essay? (for instance, I said communist China was a good place to live for women, while it wasn’t) My exam questions were probably different than those in the US by the way</p>

<p>Was happy with multiple choice, some people I know struggled with time due to seemingly high number of passages.</p>

<p>For the DBQ I grouped the docs into native resistance, mainland europe, smuggling and trade, and colonial wars.</p>

<p>For the comparative I took Japan and China which seemed the easiest, you just contrast how Japan kicked it into high gear starting with Perry’s visit and China made a last ditch attempt which failed.</p>

<p>The change one I gave up and wrote a page on the decline of Rome and the rise of the Byzantines and Holy Roman Empire. Was HRE outside the scope of the Mediterranean though?</p>

<p>i dont actually see a big problem with that, since they gained a lot of rights under mao and pretty much were equal to men in the eyes of the state… same rights and all</p>

<p>Overall, the exam wasn’t bad. I unfortunately have the World course right now and I’ve only had a full two months of it. My teacher never got to the 1800s and further on. However, I thought the DBQ was really good and that you had a lot of info to go off of. It’s a good thing I had a study guide or else I would’ve never gotten anything beyond the late 1700s. </p>

<p>MCQs were really wordy. Had to read several of them over again because I zoned out.</p>

<p>Can somebody answer my quesstion?.. .please how many points would i get if i left out Rome for the 2nd FRQ question and only talked about the Ummayad and Abbasid Caliophate</p>

<p>damnn… i thought mediterranean was just the middle east… lol ur prolly right… guess it cud have been north africa too then</p>

<p>well that’s a relief, for the compare&contrast essay I had to literally make stuff up after some point because I had no idea what happened after WWI (fell asleep whilst reading my study guide and I self-studied haha)</p>

<p>cloverleaf@ how many points do you think we could get for the second question?</p>

<p>just wondering if my questions were the same with you guys, was it like this:

  1. dbq: reasons and consequences of smuggling activities in the caribbeans
  2. ccot: how religious leaders used architecture and art before 600 CE
  3. c&c: similarities and differences of gender equality (don’t remember the exact wording, it probably wasn’t equality but anyway) and family relations in two of these regions: east asia, sub-saharan africa, western europe between 1850 and 2000</p>

<p>(I can delete this post if it’s inappropriate)</p>

<p>Nope different</p>
