**OFFICIAL** 2013 AP World Thread

<p>Can you guys tell me how my essays sounded?</p>

<p>C and C: the difference was that Russia was more internal with the NEP and Five Year plan, where as Japan raided Russia and China for raw materials, and controlled a sphere of influence. They were similar in that they had the same motive (to protect from Imperialistic nations) and had large involvement of the government.</p>

<p>CCOT: he two continuties were preservation of the culture of the classical civilizations, Greek and Roman, maintained by the Abbasid Caliphate in the House of Wisdom and influencing the Justinian code, and the people living in the Mediterranean of various backgrounds preserved their autonomy, due to Islamic customs and the equality of the Justian code. Two changes were the cultural advancements of the Byzantine and Abbasid and emergence of Christianity and Islam.</p>

<p>DBQ: iffy on the last paragraph, grouped into Political, Social, and economic. Politically, alliances between regional nations contributed to turnmoil and an increased struggle for power, especially with the formation of alliances by Indians like Pontiac. Socially, prejudice and discrimination from the British and influence of their social structure, religious freedom was somehow maintained. Economically, the Spanish high taxing of Carribean trade, lead to smuggling and economic problems. essentially the main idea was regional rivalries and events leading to struggle</p>

<p>After seeing how everyone else did on their essays, I feel like mine were awful</p>

<p>I wrote about the Great Schism too…</p>

<p>I want to iterate what I said about the Great Schism. It MAY be acceptable because the prompt used the word “circa.”</p>

<p>I couldn’t finish all the mc because there was so many reading comprehension questions… I had like 5 left</p>

<p>great schism wouldn’t have worked, it occurred after 1000. circa means around that time so probably before 1000 like 970 C.E. Did anyone write about the caliphates for the CCOT?? That would be a good topic</p>

<p>[Circa</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circa]Circa”>Circa - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>yeah i tolked about caliphates and monarchys in the second essay.</p>

<p>I think this is how i did.</p>

<p>MC 45/70
ESSAYS 3/9 8/9 8/9</p>

<p>why where there so many god damn quotes on the test, like seriously collegeboard i almost didnt finish i mean the question themselves werent hard to me you just had to analyze and stuff. this is for the mediterranean test im not sure in the states, id you guys have to analyze a bunch of quotes too? the essays for our test were actually easier i feel sorry for you huys with the japan cc essay. I think theres going to be a big curve though.</p>

<p>the test is tomorrow. anyone recommend any tips?</p>

<p>Why are you taking the test so late…</p>

<p>Late testing. I’m also taking it tomorrow. Good luck tmrw!</p>

<p>it’s a two year course in my school however each year had a different teacher. in the first year, the teacher put us behind immensely. so we had to rush everything this month and in order to do so, we had to resort to the late testing day.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think some people are also testing late because of Hurricane Sandy, since it put them out of school for a while.</p>

<p>It’s was relatively easy.</p>

<p>Yeah, i took the late testing too. It wasn’t just relatively easy, it was a joke. The multiple choice was a walk in the park. The DBQ was straight up, no tough documents (unless you count that satire document, that was a bit trippy), and both the essays were insanely easy. I mean, compare and contrast US, China, and Soviet economic policies? Seriously?</p>

<p>I thought it was hard. Especially the Change and Continuity essay. Predicting a 4 - maybe a 3?</p>

<p>The multiple choice was basically Asian societies. The continuity and change gave me some trouble but i managed to finish in 10 minutes.</p>

<p>I took the late exam too! :slight_smile: But I tried to actually study for AP World since we learned nothing as a class 4 days before the exam (LOL) and so I’m just hoping for the best!
HOPEFULLY I’LL PASS GUYS</p>

<p>@Stoness: You are no doubt a badass! You shouldn’t even be on this thread because you got this under control! I’d be surprised if you even got one question wrong. </p>

<p>By the way, which article was the satire one?</p>

<p>here are the score distributions to anyone curious… just control f and search for World History</p>
