For the DBQ, you don’t need previous knowledge. AP wants to see how well you can take any topic and analyze the documents. Its not supposed to be another FRQ and just squeeze in docs as sources. You have to analyze the docs. Find the history in the docs and background.</p>
Yeah i need the role of women throughout history. Just wanna use that as a safety just in case we get an FRQ on that. Thanks fellas!</p>
Right, but aren’t you supposed to be able to add in SOME outside info to the DBQ?</p>
For WWI, major battles/invasions, etc, include these I think (all of these are hard to keep track of): Belgium, France, Schlieffen Plan, Marne, Somme, Gallipoli Campaign, submarine warfare, Verdun, Nivelle Offensive, some in Italy, Russian withdrawal, Ottoman Empire defeated, Bulgaria, and German surrender…</p>
For WWII, the major battles/invasions, etc. we need to know would include this: Poland, Winter War in Finland, Belgium and into France, Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, battles in the Balkans, Operation Barbarossa/Invasion of the Soviet Union, Operation Torch, Battle of Kursk, Normandy/D-Day, Battle of the Bulge, Operation Market Garden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Pearl Harbor, some other ones in the Atlantic, etc…</p>
Am I forgetting any other important ones in the 2 WW?</p>
@College112</p>
there usually is something about the Cold War and/or women’s rights. Also, there was a DBQ about the Weimar Republic a few years ago… hopefully that isnt the dbq, i hated that one… im really hoping for broad questions about political leaders and not art…</p>
Islamic Fundamentalism? Witch Hunts? Deism and Existentialism? WWII Meetings and how it changed the war,</p>
Good luck everyone! Don’t cram</p>
hey guys, i found a pretty good source for info about women in European history</p>

WHOOO!!! It’s test time.</p>
OMG it’s the day…</p>
I’m stressing out about the FRQs…I should be fine for everything else tho…</p>
Yay!!! Finished! Finally! After all those exhaustive months of self-studying, and then 6 + hours of testing… I think I got a 5 in US and Euro! How do you guys feel?</p>
It was kinda hard. The FRQs I kinda BSed but my DBQ was great, it was an amazing topic. And some multiple choice were random but others were obvious. I think I got a 3 though, not too confident</p>
I thought it went really well. The last free response options kind of sucked, but I think I BS’d my way through it</p>
Mmm MC was harder than i expected, but manageable and FRQ was easier than i thought.
I think I may have gotten a 5.</p>
[copy and pasted from other Euro thread…]</p>
I thought the multiple choice was quite hard, harder than the 2 released exams we did in class. The DBQ was fine; I knew literally <em>nothing</em> about it for outside information but I don’t think you really need outside information for the Euro DBQ (APUSH is a different story)… so I did fine. I thought the Part B prompts were muuuch easier than the Part C prompts. I did really well on number 4 and did pretty well on number 6. I expect a 5, if not then definitely a 4.</p>
Overall, it went much better than expected, especially with essay 4.</p>
Multiple choice butt fudged me. Harder than released exams.</p>
FRQ/DBQ were pretty easy. I did #4 and 7.</p>
I talked some about NATO and UN. Those are still political integration right? Bulk of my essay was about ECSC and EU though.</p>
Multiple choice was a bit easier than I expected, like everyone says some were obvious and some quite difficult. I think I got about 45-55 right, which is not great, but passing material. I loved the DBQ, it was manageable, not obscure, and I knew stuff about it. FRQ’s were eh…I kind of just dumped all of the information I knew on the topic onto the paper. Not much analysis besides grouping and examples. I did #'s 3 and 7 (are we allowed to talk in depth about essays?) I expect a 4, need 4 or 5. And notatruetarheel, I used NATO and UN for political too.</p>
Multiple Choice was great. DBQ… I am an Elizabethan/Tudor fanatic great outside info bias and group. Missed up on first FRQ on Spain and Italy b/c my proctor missed me up but probably got a 4-5. Great on 2nd FRQ on Stalin and Lenin </p>
I will not say what I think I got. I hope I got a 4 or 5 though. But I think after getting two 5’s on practice test a 4 would be a disappointment</p>
BTW when will the MCs and FRQ’S be available online; after July</p>
MC was sooo much easier than I expected, no random questions! (except like 2)</p>
DBQ was okay, not too good, not too bad</p>
I did #4 and 6, kinda BSed the 3rd point for 6, 4 was pretty good 
I didn’t have time to write the concluding thesis restatements for the 2 FRQS though ):</p>
definitely a 4, maaybe a 5 (;</p>
