<p>DID you know that in the KAplan APUSH prep book, it has the full answe to the First FRQ, whch was about Market.</p>
<p>Getting a 5/9 is average. Just basic discussion about the topic with little to no outside info. It is easy to tell that the writer is uncomfortable talking about the topic.</p>
<p>Especially on history, it is easy to get higher scores such as 7+ as long as you are comfortable talking about the topic and you can bring up a lot of info.</p>
<p>fot the dbq</p>
<p>social:draft riots(elaborated on that), red scare(huac, mcarren internal securities)
politics:lost the war, tet offensive
economics:gulf of tonkin, blank check, wasted too much money</p>
<p>was this all</p>

<p>Red scare is 20 years earlier.

</p>
<p>No mention of the split in the Democratic Party and the issue of Preisdential power.

</p>
<p>Blank check was a political phrase, not an economic one.</p>
<p>not really. the question in the APUSH kaplan book deals with SOCIAL impact, not the thing that it asked for on the ap test.</p>
<p>The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution can be used as a politcal example as well.</p>
<p>What I think they were really looking for with economic was the decline of "Great Society" because all of all the money used to fund the war.</p>
<p>Would it be okay if for social we talked a lot about the Civil Rights Movement.
Because the Vietnam War and the decade in general made the African Americans more aware that they were being treated with injustice and blahblahblah.</p>
<p>Oh also,
I mentioned Vietnamization in my political paragraph. But now I'm not sure if it fits... haha</p>
<p>even though the redscare was before the effect of communism was still around hence the creation of huac and mcarren internal secruties which were both under truman...</p>
<p>and btw the time of cold war is known as the second red scare according to my teacher's notes</p>
<p>are we allowed to talk about the essays now?</p>
<p>the test itself wasn't really so bad. i omitted about 5 MC and was surprised how the MC section was so nit-picky with details this year! i've taken several prac tests and never have i seen a question on stuff like mcguffey's readers, etc.</p>
<p>DBQ was great! relieved it was about Viet war b/c i have knowledge from my parents and also it was the focus of what we learned just before taking the test. </p>
<p>FRQs werent bad either! i was freaking out because at first, i didnt know what MARKET REVOLUTION meant so i did #4 first and went back to #3 after realizing it was the industrial revolution :)</p>
<p>Pretty sure we can talk about the exam now.</p>
<p>Does remember any questions on the MC section?
I just remember a few I didn't get; if anyone remembers any post and I'll try to recall what I put.</p>
<p>Redwood, its is basically the same as the AP test, because it touches on the North, the South, and The midwest. Read the first paragraph!!</p>
<p>We CANNOT talk about the MC. EVER. lol. </p>
<p>As far as the DBQ, I mentioned:</p>
<p>social:
- anti-war movement and what that entailed.... Kent State, Slaughterhouse-Five, etc.
- Civil Rights Movement (MLK's document)
- LBJ's Great Society </p>
<p>political: this was by far my longest section.
- tet offensive
- election of 1968... assassination of RK, formation of Hawks/Doves
- extension of executive power through the Tonkin Gulf
- Vietnamization, Cambodia, etc.
- War Powers Act</p>
<p>economic:
- "stagflation"
- increased military spending
- strain placed on economy by Great Society welfare programs + war funding</p>
<p>stars i basically used everything you did except i used the pentagon papers as well. i think all that info will definitely get a high score... hopefully</p>
<p>hahah. wow. me too. i used the same thing.
except the dove & hawks
i didn't feel comfortable writing the DBQ though.
everyone taking the APUSH exam were so mad bc our teacher said that free response would NEVER EVER be on Vietnam. </p>
<p>so i probably ended up with like a 5-6, hopefully. <em>crossing fingers</em></p>
<p>^yea i used basically all that and i added SDC (student for democratic society) and the riots and such</p>
<p>yay i added sds too, only missing 2 things that star_s put in. Im hoping for a 6 or 7 hopefully a 7</p>
<p>Oh and do we really have to wait until july. Is there like any early grade reporting for a fee??? I already cant stand the wait</p>
