***Official AP European History Thread 2015***

Omg me too! For #6 i used bernini and durer! Art history honestly gave me free points on that essay

I wish I knew art history

I paid no attention to art during the school year because i thought it was boring. But I’m pretty confident on 2 and 7

@gnskid Haha that’s awesome! I mentioned Bernini, Hals, Holbein, Rembrandt and Vermeer.

Of that list, I recognize Bernini. No idea who the other people are.

For those of you who wrote #6, besides art, what cultural pieces did you use? Literature? Maybe the improvement of life for women?

I discussed an increase in literacy/education (does that work?) in addition to art

Did anyone do 2 or 7?

Can’t wait for the 48 hour waiting period to end

@Falconsroach7 I approached question 3 similarly. I also mentioned how the NEP was a necessary deviation from socialism and how Stalin’s socialism in one country and totalitarianism were incompatible with Marxist ideas of a stateless, classless society. Although collectivization was sort of socialist.

@Falconsroach7 I used music (described Baroque music and Bach specifically).

Cool, sounds like we hit a lot of the same points so I feel good on that one!

As for the mc, i felt that some of the questions were challenging, especially in the beginning, but overall, felt that the DBQ was not hard but somewhat difficult to group, on that I predict a 7 because I spent quite a lot of time grouping, maybe 5 minutes extra reading, and I thought the FRQs were a breeze, I chose 2 and 7. Hoping for a 5, but depends on how I did on the mc, probably got a 4 but felt comfortable with many of my answers. I have a great teacher who really prepared us well for the essays! :slight_smile: Glad its over.

@guanlinzhou ya we both have the same last name lol maybe we are secretly related xDDD

I did the same ones as average white guy

unlike him I had a terrible teacher who i hope never looks at this thread

still hoping for a 5 tho

I didn’t think the test was that bad. The MC was pretty tough, but the dbq and frq’s were easy. I answered 2 and 6 btw. If any of you guys want a confidence booster, search ‘ap euro’ on twitter. Basically everyone thinks they failed…

The DBQ was pretty easy, the MC was damn hard, and hte FRQs weren’t bad. I did 2 and 6. Did anyone use these points?

2: Equality before the Law, French Power in Europe, Meritocracy (Successes); Representative Gov (failure)
6: Intra-State unity was broken up, New geopolitical considerations (based on religion), New requirements to be king.

I made sure to go with just Reformation, not Renaissance…although I’m kicking myself for not using more examples lol
