<p>does anyone know the curve for this years test</p>

<p>You are supposed to use all 9. If you don’t, you can’t get higher than a 5/9,</p>

<p>DOES ANYONE HAVE THE 2012 RELEASED EXAMS? NOT JUST THE FRQ?
sorry for the caps lock; im so desperate right now</p>

<p>What was the time frame for the Mediterranean question?</p>

<p>200CE to 1000CE I THINK</p>

<p>Am I screwed because I only talked about Rome/Byzantium in my change and continuity essay? I really wasn’t sure if the early Islamic empires were on the Mediterranean because I suck at geography. I also just realized I spelled Mediterranean wrong throughout that entire essay lol</p>

<p>I’m also bothered by the fact I totally blanked on how the Japanese became open to trade through Perry and said Meiji opened them up… Whoops :/</p>

<p>Oh, okay. Someone told me 600 CE - 1000 CE, and that confused me b/c you guys are talking about Rome but the fall of Rome was in 476 CE. Thanks.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I’m getting a 4 or a 5. My one mistake was that I spoke about one anachronistic thing in the CCOT even though I knew it was outside the time frame. IDK what I was thinking.</p>

<p>The multiple choice was fairly hard in my opinion and all of the other people’s opinions at my school. A lot of people didn’t finish.</p>

<p>All my essays were 4 pages. I absolutely destroyed the CCOT and Comparative. Just really hoping for a 5. I probably got about a 45 on the MC and then possibly all 7+ if not 9s on all the essays, so hopefully that will carry me.</p>

<p>I have a lot of opinions about the essays but I will withhold them until 48 hours pass like a good boy.</p>

<p>BTW typeakid, I think Perry might be considered anachronistic given the time frame they mentioned and also it didn’t have anything to do with the state. I will be vague and just say that you were right to only talk about what you did talk about.</p>

<p>Trying to be vague to not dishonor the CollegeBoard.</p>

<p>tiny chat?</p>

<p>Hmm, MovingtoTexas? </p>

<p>Also on the CCOT, remember that the word “circa” was used, so perhaps the schism is acceptable.</p>

<p>I felt the multiple choice would’ve been a lot easier if they didn’t overload with reading comprehension questions. I release reading comprehension is important, but putting a good amount when we have 55 minutes to answer 70 questions is ridiculous.</p>

<p>I felt the essays were overall easy.</p>

<p>Urgh I am so ****ed at myself, on the CCOT I put the development of agriculture, civilizations, and religion when that was pass that time period!! I nailed the comparative, DBQ was alright, and the multiple choice was easy. Hoping for a 5, throw a miracle at me life!!</p>

<p>What was the time frame for the Comparative essay about Japan?</p>

<p>@kevin, 1750’s cuz it said mid 18th century</p>

<p>The Comparative time frame was from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The mid-18th century time frame you’re referring to, elyvine, is from the DBQ.</p>

<p>oh i got them mixed up then, but then why are people complaining about the meiji restoration and commodore perry not being relevant to the time period? that all happened from 1800-1900…</p>

<p>No idea. There isn’t much to talk about in Japan besides the Meiji Restoration during that time period anyway.</p>

<p>If anyone’s interested, the essay questions were roughly like this,</p>

<p>Part A</p>

<p>Analyze the connections between regional issues and Europe’s global struggles for power in the mid-18th century.</p>

<p>Part B</p>

<p>Analyze the cultural change and continuities as a result of political transformations in the Mediterranean region during the years 200 CE to 1000 CE.</p>

<p>Part C</p>

<p>Analyze the similarities and differences with ONE of the regions listed (China, Russia, Ottoman Empire) with Japan’s state-run economic development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</p>

<p>ok thanks bon! Started to worry cause I thought I was talking in the wrong time period throughout my compare and contrast essay :s</p>
