Official AP Euro '11 Thread

One day left guys. You ready?</p>

Hey, sinohellenic!</p>

I’ve actually been doing lots of practice tests so I can hone my multiple choice skills and timing as much as possible. Now, I’m just trying to memorize stuff for potential FRQs. </p>

I hope I’m ready, let’s just say that. :slight_smile: How about you?</p>

Just curious… what is everyone else studying for the FRQs?</p>

This is the exam I am most prepared for. I did it self-study, so I was kind of concerned, but I have scored between 72 and 76 on each of the 4 released exams I’ve done</p>

@sinohellenic, percent or out of 80? because if that’s out of 80 then that’s ridiculously good, if it’s percent then thats still really good.</p>

Also, did you pay for the exams or find them online? because I’ve only been able to find one online.</p>

I’ve been doing marginally well on the multiple choice (75% on the 1984 exam, 78% on the 1994 exam, 84% on the 2004 exam, 86% on the 1999 exam, etc.) which I think I can improve at least by a few percent in the next few hours (I definitely need to review more modern history).</p>

However, I’m definitely quite worried about the DBQ. Since I self-studied, I haven’t familiarized myself with the format. Thankfully I think I’m okay for the FRQs since I did take APUSH (and my teacher was really, really good-- a Harvard grad :slight_smile: ), but like I said, that DBQ worries me. I think tonight I’ll take a few for practice, just to adjust myself to the format. </p>

Btw, the FRQ is the same for Euro as it is for US, right?</p>

Good luck everyone. Do not stress yourselves out tonight. Take it easy and relax.</p>

Does anyone have the 2009 exam? I have it, but half of the questions are cut off so I can only really take half of the exam. I have all the other Euro exams that I would be willing to send in return!</p>

Zuuu i dont have any euro exams but would u be so kind as to send me a MC section?</p>

Where do you find these Euro exams??? Is it possible to send one to me?</p>

Yeah, of course. PM me with your email addresses and I’ll send you what I have.</p>

Just got your email. I love you.</p>

Haha, you’re welcome :)</p>

any predictions on frqs?</p>

I predict more modern frqs. Certainly a woman question, maybe a question on the cold war. and MAYBE (this is a huge maybe) this will be the year they drop an EU question on us. If you look at previous questions, they have without a doubt been getting more and more modern.</p>

there’s always one on cold war, and one on feminism</p>

for me, i’m scared that I won’t have enough concrete evidence for frqs :frowning: or that i’ll completely misread the prompt T___T</p>

the dbqs are ridiculous; it’s very easy to get a 8 at least
just follow these steps:</p>

  1. thesis that answers question
  2. 3 groups OR MORE
  3. use all or all but one documents
  4. analyze POV in 6-7 docs (in case one of them doesn’t count)
  5. DON’T QUOTE</p>

i think that should be it :)</p>

GOOD LUCK Y’ALL D:!</p>

I plan to study Cold war and women in europe history- cuz i kno those are like…for sure, hopefully they dont appear in the same grouping</p>

does anyone know where to get past MC sections?</p>

hey, how are the frq questions about cold war and women usually framed? i mean compare and contrast?</p>

" Compare and contrast the goals and achievements of the feminist movement in the
period circa 1850–1920 with those of the feminist movement in the period 1945 to<br>
the present"</p>

" Assess the ways in which women participated in and influenced TWO of the
following.
The Renaissance
The Reformation
The French Revolution"</p>

" Analyze the political and economic effects of changing population patterns in Western
Europe in the period circa 1950 to the present. Cite specific examples from at least
TWO countries. "</p>

" Evaluate the changes and continuities in women’s public roles during the Renaissance"</p>
